Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = 1/2(x) - 3

Add 3 to both sides.

8 = 1/2(x)

Rewrite for clarity.

1/2(x) = 8

x/2 = 8

Multiply both sides by 2.

x = 16.

Proof:

5 = 1/2(x) - 3

Substitute variable.

5 = 1/2(16) - 3

Multiply 1/2 and 16.

5 = 8 - 3

Subtract 3 from 8.

5 = 5

3O POINTS!! AND I WILL MARK THE BRAINLEST ANSWER EVER PLZ HELPP MEEE
AysviL [449]

Answer: Use order of operations (PEMDAS). Answer is 45.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve inside parenthesis:

(5.25*1 1/5 - 4.5*4/5)

Convert 1 1/5 into decimal. It will be easier. 1 1/5 is the same as 1.2

Do multiplication and division first.

5.25*1.2 = 6.3

Now it looks like: (6.3 - 4.5*4/5)

Convert 4/5 to a decimal: 4/5 = 0.8

(6.3 - 4.5*0.8)

Multiply 4.5*0.8 = 3.7

Subtract (6.3 - 3.7) = 2.6

Now the full equation is: 19.6*2 1/5 + (2.6)

2 1/5 as a decimal: 2.2

Multiply 19.6*2.2 = 43.12

Now the equation is: 43.12 + 2.6

Add 43.12 + 2.6 = 45.72

x = \frac{25}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x:

\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{25}{9}  \\x = \frac{25}{9}\\

Hope this helps!
