Question

1/2 (5-7x) = 8- 4x+6

Answer 1

1/2(5-7x)=8-4x+6
-7/2x+5/2=-4x+14                       Simplify both sides
1/2x+5/2=14                               Add 4x to both sides
1/2x=23/3                                   Subtract 5/2 on both sides
2*(1/2x)=2*(23/2)                       Multiply both sides by 2
x=23 - Final Answer
