Solve the equation x/2-5=9

Answer 1

Starting with the equation:

x/2 - 5 = 9

Add 5 to both sides to isolate the variable term:

x/2 = 14

To solve for x, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 2:

2(x/2) = 2(14)

The 2 on the left side cancel out and we are left with:

x = 28

Therefore, the solution is x = 28.
