Question

1/2(x-5)=2x+5. What’s the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(x-5)=2x+5

Multiply each side by 2

2(1/2(x-5))=2(2x+5)

x-5 = 4x+10

Subtract x from each side

x-5-x = 4x+10-x

-5 = 3x+10

Subtract 10 from each side

-5-10 = 3x+10-10

-15 =3x

Divide by 3

-15/3 = 3x/3

-5 =x
