Hello! I would love to help!
Let's first define solve. Solve means to get the variable, or unknown, by itself. So, we know that we've solved the equation if we get our variable, x, by itself.
Let's look at the problem like this: What number, minus 1/2, is equal to 4?
To solve this problem, let's reverse the order.
X-1/2=4
Since it is -1/2, let's add 1/2 to each side to cancel the one half out, since -1/2+1/2=0
X-1/2+1/2=4+1/2
Now, we can simplify!
X=4 1/2
That is your answer! X=4 1/2 or as an improper fraction 9/2.

Answer:
135.58 just did this
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I calculated the amount of money he got on Monday. I multiplied. 8.50 x 7 which equals 59.50. Then, I calculated the amount of money he got on Tuesday. I multiplied 8.50 (since that is the number of money he gets paid) to 3.2 (since that’s the amount of hours he works). I got 27.200. Then lastly, I calculated the amount of money he got on Friday. So first I changed 5 3/4 into a decimal. This is 5.75. After, I multiplied 8.50 x 5.75, and got 48.8750.lastly, I added and got 135.575. So if you round it, it will be 135.58
I’m not 100% about this answer but i’m pretty sure it’s going to be 40/120. i hope this helped a little
3s=t+5
s=4
we substitute 4 for s in the equation
3*4=t+5
12=t+5
t=12-5
t=7
