Question 170531: I am not a student, just doing some practice math for an engineering tech asst position at my current employer. I haven't been to school in 11 years and am just trying to refresh my memory. The problem I got stummped on is below:

4x-7=x/2
I've tried to mulitply/divide/add/subtract and somewhere I am getting all jumbled up. If you solve it could you please show me the steps taken. I am missing something due to there being a variable on both sides of the equation.
Thanks so much

Question 169844: I apologize in advance, but I am unsure as to the type of problems these are.
1. Simplify
(2x^7y^2/4xy^3)^3 I know that 2/4 is 1/2 but I do not know how to simplify the exponents inside the parenthesis or the cubed exponent on the outside of the parenthesis.
2. I have no idea where to begin on this problem
If 2x + 2 is >= 5x + 11 then? How do you solve this problem.
Thank you in advance!!
