Question

4 ( x- 2) = 34 for x

Answer 1

X=21/2
X=10 1/2
X=10.5

Answer 2

Answer:

10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x-2)=34

Divide both sides by 4.

$x-2=\frac{34}{4}$

Reduce the fraction.

$x-2=\frac{17}{2}$

Add 2 to both sides.

$x=\frac{17}{2}+2$

Convert 2 into the fraction $\frac{4}{2}$.

$x=\frac{17}{2} +$$\frac{4}{2}$

Add the fractions by adding their numerators.

$x=\frac{17+4}{2}$

Add 17 and 4 to get 21

$x=\frac{21}{2}$ or 10.5

have a nice day!
