Question

Solve for x in the equation x/2 = 17. A. x = 34 B. x = 8.5 C. x = 19 D. x = 15

Answer 1

To "remove" a divided by 2 on one side of the equation, you must multiply it by two, which means you must do it to the other side was well. So you get:

x/2=17
x=(17x2)
x=34

Therefore A is the correct answer.
