To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction on the left side.
Reciprocal of 5/8 is 8/5.
8/5 * 5/8(x+1/2) = 8/5 * 100
By multiplying both sides, we get:
x + 1/2 = 160
Next, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
x + 1/2 - 1/2 = 160 - 1/2
The 1/2 on the left side cancels out, leaving us with:
x = 159.5
Therefore, the solution is x = 159.5.
Solve for x.
5 over 8(x+1 over 2)=100
