Question

When she subtracts 4 from both sides, 1/2x = –1/2x results. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

The answer to that typical problem will be 0 because if you subtract both sides 1/2x=-1/2x will equal 0

Answer 2

Answer: The value of x is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

`(1x)/(2)=(-1x)/(2)`

According to question,

If she subtracts 4 from both sides, our equation becomes,

`(1x)/(2)-4=(-1x)/(2)-4\\\\\text{ by transposing the like terms on the both sides, we get}\\\\(1)/(2)+(1x)/(2)=-4+4\\\\x=0`

Hence, the value of x is 0.
