Full solution

Q. Solve for xx.\newline12x+1=1x+4\frac{1}{2x}+1=-1x+4
  1. Correct Equation Format: Correct the equation's format.\newlineThe equation provided seems to have a typo. It should be written as (12)x+1=1x+4(\frac{1}{2})x + 1 = -1x + 4 to make sense mathematically.
  2. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms by getting all the xx terms on one side and the constants on the other side.12x+1x=41\frac{1}{2}x + 1x = 4 - 1
  3. Simplify XX Terms: Simplify the xx terms.12x+22x=3\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{2}{2}x = 332x=3\frac{3}{2}x = 3
  4. Solve for X: Solve for xx by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (32)(\frac{3}{2}), which is (23)(\frac{2}{3}).x=3×(23)x = 3 \times (\frac{2}{3})
  5. Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side to find the value of xx.x=2x = 2
