x/2 + 5 =12

1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{2} + 5 = 12 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: \[ \frac{x}{2} = 12 - 5 \] \[ \frac{x}{2} = 7 \]

  2. Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate \( x \): \[ x = 7 \times 2 \] \[ x = 14 \]

Thus, the solution is \( x = 14 \).
