Question

SOLVE THE EQUATION 1/2x + 1/4x =16

Answer 1

1/2x + 1/4x = 16

3/4x = 16

x = 16 / 3/4 = 21 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the equation for x is $x=\frac{64}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}=16$

We need to solve the equation for x.

Add the like terms as shown:

$\frac{2x+x}{4}=16$

$\frac{3x}{4}=16$

Multiply both the sides by 4/3.

$\frac{3x}{4}\times \frac{4}{3}=16\times \frac{4}{3}$

$x=\frac{64}{3}$

Hence, the value of the equation for x is $x=\frac{64}{3}$.
