Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
½(x-2) = 8 + 5x
Multiply both sides by 2
2⋅½(x-2) = 2(8 + 5x)
1(x-2) = 2(8 + 5x)
Apply the distributive rule
x - 2 = 16 + 10x
Subtract x from both sides
-2 = 16 + 9x
Subtract 16 from both sides
-18 = 9x
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x
-18 ÷ 9 = 9x ÷ 9
-2 = x
Answer:
Rounding x = 5.52
Step-by-step explanation:
2.1x - 3.6 = 8
Add 3.6 to each side
2.1x - 3.6+3.6 = 8+3.6
2.1x = 11.6
Divide each side by 2.1
2.1x/2.1 = 11.6/2.1
x =5.523809524
Rounding x = 5.52
540 - [(180 - 86) + (180 - 76) + (180 - 41) + 9180 - 98) ]
= 540 - (94 + 104 + 139 + 82)
= 540 - 419
= 121
x = 180 - 212
x = 59
