Question

Solve for x 33=x/2+15

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x=36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 33=\cfrac{x}{2}+15$

$\boxed {\sf Multiply\: both \:sides \:by \:2}$

$\sf 66=x+30$

Swap sides so that all the variable terms are on the left hand side:

$\sf x+30=66$

$\boxed{\sf Subtract \:30\: from \:both \:sides}$

$\sf x=66-30$

$\boxed{\sf Subtract \: 30\: from \:66}$

$\sf x=36$

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for $x$ by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Therefore, $x = 36$.

To check your answer, apply 36 to where $x$ is.

$33=\frac{36}{2} +15$

⇒ $33=18+15$

$18+15=33$    ☑
