Question

Solve the equation for the variable. Make sure your answer is in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

$30x+18=35−4x$

First of all using the addition property add 4x to both sides

That's

$30x + 4x + 18 = 35 + 4x - 4x \\ 34x + 18 = 35$

Next using the subtraction property subtract 18 from both sides to make 34x stand alone

We have

$34x + 18 - 18 = 35 - 18 \\ 34x = 17$

Divide both sides by 34

That's

$\frac{34x}{34} = \frac{17}{34}$

We have the final answer as

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

Hope this helps you
