Question

Which value of x makes the equation 3+0.75(x-2)=0.5(x+20)

Answer 1

x = 34

Explanation:

We need to find the value of x in the given equation :

3+0.75(x-2)=0.5(x+20)

Solving as follows:

3+0.75x-1.5=0.5x+10

Taking like terms together,

3-1.5-10=0.5x-0.75x

-8.5=-0.25x

`x=(8.5)/(0.25)`

x = 34

So, the value of x is 34.
