Question 1124807
1/4(8x + 12) = 10 - 2(x -2)
:
2x + 3 = 10 - 2x + 4
:
4x = 11
:
***********************
x = 11/4 = 2 3/4 = 2.75
***********************
:
check answer
:
1/4(8x + 12) = 10 - 2(x -2)
:
substitute for x
:
(1/4)(8 * 2.75 + 12) = 10 - 2(2.75 - 2)
:
(1/4)(22 + 12) = 10 -2(0.75)
:
(1/4)(34) = 10 - 1.5
:
8.5 = 8.5
