Question

How do you solve `(x+4)/2 = 7`?

Answer 1

Please look below.

Explanation:

In this question you need to simplify the left hand side so since it is entirely divided by `2` both sides need to be multiplied by `2` to simplify the equation and keep both sides equal.

`(x+4)/2 xx 2 = 7 xx 2`

`x+4 = 14`

Now you can subtract `4` from both sides to find `x`

`x +4 - 4= 14 - 4`

`x = 10`

Answer 2

x=10

Explanation:

We just use simple algebra. I personally like to get rid of the fraction first so this is how I do. `(x+4)/2=7.`
`x+4=7*2`
`x+4=14`
`x=10`

Answer 3

`x=10`

Explanation:

`(x+4)/2=7`

`x+4=14`

`x=10`
