Full solution

Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newlinex+74=12(2x4)+6 x+7-4=\frac{1}{2}(2 x-4)+6 \newline
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newlinex+74x + 7 - 4 becomes x+3x + 3.\newlineSo, x+3=(12)(2x4)+6x + 3 = (\frac{1}{2})(2x - 4) + 6.
  2. Distribute the (1/2)(1/2): Distribute the (1/2)(1/2) on the right side of the equation.(1/2)(2x)(1/2)(4)(1/2)(2x) - (1/2)(4) becomes x2x - 2. So, x+3=x2+6x + 3 = x - 2 + 6.
  3. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.\newlinex2+6x - 2 + 6 becomes x+4x + 4.\newlineSo, x+3=x+4x + 3 = x + 4.
  4. Subtract xx: Subtract xx from both sides to get the xx terms on one side.\newlinex+3x=x+4xx + 3 - x = x + 4 - x.\newlineThis simplifies to 3=43 = 4.
