PLEASE HELP Explain how the algebraic properties are applied in the steps to solving equations and use them to solve 1/2x+4=12. 10 points

Respuesta :

0.5x+4=12
0.5x=12-4
0.5x=8
x=8×2
x=16
[tex] \frac{1}{2}x + 4 = 12 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{6}{12} x+ \frac{48}{12} = \frac{144}{12} [/tex]
cancel the denominators (12)
[tex]6x +48 = 144[/tex]
[tex]6x = 144 - 48[/tex]
[tex]6x = 96[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{96}{6} [/tex]
[tex]\boxed{x = 16}[/tex]
