Question

What is the solution to the equation x/2 - 4 = 6?x = 5x = 20x = 1x = 10

Answer 1

We are given the following equation:

$\frac{x}{2}-4=6$

To solve for "x" we need first to add 4 on both sides of the equation:

$\frac{x}{2}-4+4=6+4$

Solving the operations:

$\frac{x}{2}=10$

Now we multiply both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=2(10)$

Solving the operations:

$x=20$

Therefore the value of x is 20
