Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 1/2x + 2(1+x) = 29?

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

`2x + (1)/(2) x + 2(1 + x) = 29`

Multiply through by 2

That's

`4x + x + 4(1 + x) = 58`

Expand

That's

5x + 4 + 4x = 58

9x = 58 - 4

9x = 54

Divide both sides by 9

That's

`(9x)/(9) = (54)/(9)`

We have the final answer as

x = 6

Hope this helps you
