Question

What Is 2x+50=4x+25 Can Someone Help Me Find The Answer!!!!

Answer 1

2x + 50 = 4x + 25

To isolate x, first subtract 50 from both sides of the equation.

2x + 50 - 50 = 4x + 25 - 50

2x = 4x - 25

Then, subtract 4x from both sides.

2x - 4x = 4x - 25 - 4x

-2x = -25

Lastly, divide both sides by -2.

x = 12.5

Check work

Substitute 12.5 for every x in the equation.

2(12.5) + 50 = 4(12.5) + 25

25 + 50 = 50 + 25

75 = 75

As you can see, the statement is true; 12.5 is correct.

Answer:

x = 12.5 or x = $12\frac{1}{2}$
