To solve the equation 15 = 9 - 1/2x, we can start by isolating the variable x.
We will subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:
15 - 9 = 9 - 9 - 1/2x
6 = -1/2x
Next, we will divide both sides of the equation by -1/2 to solve for x:
(6) / (-1/2) = (-1/2x) / (-1/2)
6 / (-1/2) = x
-12 = x
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -12.
15 = 9 -1/2x
