Question 823779: 1/2x = 1/4x +2
I tried 1/x divided by both sides and 1/4x divided by both sides still have the plus 2 and cannot -2 for the other side right? I know the answer is x-8 but not sure how to get that? Found 2 solutions by TimothyLamb, Alan3354:Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
(1/2)x = (1/4)x + 2
(1/2)x - (1/4)x = 2
(2/4)x - (1/4)x = 2
(1/4)x = 2
x = 2*4
x = 8

-------
If you mean
(1/2)x = (1/4)x + 2
Step 1, eliminate fractions if possible.
Multiply thru by 4.
2x = x + 8
x = 8
------
How can the answer be x-8?
