Question

1/2 (4x – 5) + 5/2 = 10 A. 5 B. 8 C. 12 D. 20

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{x=5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} (4x-5)+\frac{5}{2} =10$

→ Multiply everything by 2

$1(4x-5)+5=20$

→ Expand out the bracket

$4x-5+5=20$

→ Simplify

$4x=20$

→ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

$x=5$
