To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 8:
8*(5/8)(x+1/2) = 8*100
This simplifies to:
5(x+1/2) = 800
Distributing 5 to (x+1/2):
5x + 5/2 = 800
Next, we can subtract 5/2 from both sides:
5x = 800 - 5/2
Now, we can use a common denominator to combine the terms on the right side:
5x = (1600 - 5)/2
5x = 1595/2
Finally, to isolate x, we can divide both sides by 5:
x = (1595/2)/5
Simplifying the right side:
x = 1595/10
Thus, the solution for x is 159 1/2.
Solve for x. 5/8(x+1/2)=100 (1 point) Responses 160 1/2 160 62 62 159 1/2 63
