Question

Solve the following4x-1/2=x+7​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - $\frac{1}{2}$ = x + 7

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

8x - 1 = 2x + 14 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

6x - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )

6x = 15 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{15}{6}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$
