Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The 1/2 only affects the firs set of brackets.
Solution
52=1/2(8x-6)+(15x+18) Remove the brackets.
52 = (1/2)*8x - 1/2(6) + 15x + 18 Multiply each of the first 2 terms by 1/2
52 = 4x - 3 + 15x + 18 Combine like terms on the right
52 = 19x + 15 Subtract 15 from both sides
52-15 = 19x +15-15
37 = 19x Divide by 19
19x/19 = 37/19
Answer x = 1.9474
