Question

PLEASE HELP Explain how the algebraic properties are applied in the steps to solving equations and use them to solve 1/2x+4=12. 10 points

Answer 1

0.5x+4=12
0.5x=12-4
0.5x=8
x=8×2
x=16

Answer 2

`(1)/(2)x + 4 = 12`

`(6)/(12) x+ (48)/(12) = (144)/(12)`
cancel the denominators (12)

`6x +48 = 144`

`6x = 144 - 48`

`6x = 96`

`x = (96)/(6)`

`\boxed{x = 16}`
