Question

I'm so confused can someone help me

Answer 1

3/2(x - 10 ) = 1/2 x + 5
expand by using distributive property
3/2 x - 15 = 1/2 x + 5
subtract (1/2 x ) on both sides
x - 15 = 5
add 15 on both sides
x = 20

answer
C. x = 20

Answer 2

So firstly with this equation, you're gonna want to multiply $\frac{3}{2}$ with x-10 and that should bring the equation to $\frac{3}{2} x-15= \frac{1}{2} x+5$ .

Next, you're gonna want to add 15 on each side and your equation should look like $\frac{3}{2} x= \frac{1}{2} x+20$ .

Now you're gonna subtract $\frac{1}{2} x$ on each side and your equation should look like $\frac{2}{2} x=20$.

And since 2/2 is equal to one, your answer is $x=20$
