Question

9 = x/2 + 2
solve for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

14 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 on both sides you get 7 = x/2, multiply both sides by 2 and you get 14 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets take the L.C.M on one side, so that it becomes a little more unified.

=> 9= X/2 + 4/2

now, lets shift the 2 to the L.H.S to make it even simpler.

=> 18= x+4

Now, lets move 4 to the L.H.S, to subtract it from 18.

=> 14= x

Thus, x=14
