Question

To solve the equation 1/2(x+9)=7/8x, start by dividing both sides of the equation by 1/2. What is the new equation after dividing? Be sure to simplify any remaining fractions. Use the keypad to enter the equation in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

x+9 = 1 3/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with 1/2(x+9) = 7/8x. Then, you divide by 1/2 on both sides. (1/2(x+9))/(1/2) = 1(x+9) or x+9. (7/8x)/(1/2) = 7/4x. So, you get x+9 = 7/4x or x+9 = 1 3/4x.

Answer 2

Answer:

$x+9=\frac{7}{4}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}(x+9)=\frac{7}{8}x$ divide both sides by 1/2

We get $\frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot (x+9)}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{7}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}x < = > (x+9)=2\cdot\frac{7}{8}x < = > x+9=\frac{7}{4}x$
