Question

Solve for x ! please help (show work)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8(-2x+1) =0

Divide each side by 8

-2x+1 = 0

Add 2x to each side

-2x+1+2x = 2x

1 = 2x

Divide by 2

1/2 = 2x/2

1/2 =x

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8(-2x+1)=0

Use distributive property first

-16x+8=0

Subtract 8 on both sides

-16x=-8

Divide both sides by -16 to get x by itself

x=0.5

Which is also equal to 1/2

Therefore, x is equal to 1/2
