the solution to 1 over 2(x) − 2 = 3

1 answer

To find the solution to the equation 1 over 2(x) - 2 = 3, we can follow these steps:

1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the fraction.
1/2(x) = 3 + 2
1/2(x) = 5

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction.
2 * (1/2(x)) = 2 * 5
(1/2) * 2 * x = 10

3. Simplify the expression on the left side of the equation.
1x = 10

4. Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 10.
