Question 199480
Can this be solved? x/2 + 6x = 7(2x-8)
{{{x/2}}} + 6x = 7(2x - 8)
Multiply equation by 2, to get rid of he denominator
x + 12x = 14(2x - 8)
:
13x = 28x - 112
:
13x - 28x = - 112
:
-15x = -112
x = {{{(-112)/(-15)}}}
x ~ +7.4667

Check solution in original equation
{{{7.4667/2}}} + 6(7.4667) = 7(2(7.4667) - 8)
{{{7.4667/2}}} + 6(7.4667) = 7(2(7.4667) - 8)
3.7333 + 44.8002 = 7(14.9334 - 8)
48.5335 = 7(6.9334)
48.5335 ~ 48.5338,
