Question

Solve 1/2x + 7 = x - 3

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=20$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for x by simplifying the equation until we have x isolated on one side.

$\frac{1}{2}x + 7 = x-3$

Subtract 7 from both sides:

$\frac{1}{2}x = x-10$

Subtract x from both sides:

$-\frac{1}{2}x = -10$

Multiply both sides by -2:

$x = 20$

Answer 2

Answer: x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x + 7  =x -3            add 3 to both sides

          +3      +3

1/2x + 10 = x          Subtract 1/2x from both sides

-1/2x          -1/2x

        10 = 1/2x

  x = 20
