eight more then half of a number x is equal to 15. Carleigh starts solving this problem by using the subtraction property of equality to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation. how can Carleigh continue solving to find the value\ of x

Answer 1

After subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation, Carleigh would have:

(8 + x) / 2 = 15

To solve for x, Carleigh needs to isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:

8 + x = 30

Then, she can subtract 8 from both sides to find the value of x:

x = 22
