Is this right?!!?

1/2(x-11) = 12

1/2 x – 5.5 = 12

+5.5 +5.5

1/2x = 17.5

/ 1/2

x=35

1/2(x-11) = 12

divide both sides by half

x-11 = 24

x = 24 + 11

= 35

i don’t understand what you were doing, but you got the right answer anyway.

Ya u r right but u can opt this one for an easy one – check out

open the brackets first (multiply wid 1/2)

1/2x – 11/2 = 12

(x – 11) /2 = 12

x – 11 = 24 (coss multiply)

x = 24+11

x = 35

I don’t understand what you’re doing either, but it’s right.

If 1/2(x-11) =12

then x-11=12 x 2=24

x=24+11=35.

Hope this helps.

to those who didn’t understand what she was doing, she distributed, added 5.5 to both sides to get rid of it on the left side, then divided everything by 1/2 to get x by itself.

and you did it right, good job

.5(x-11)=12

x-11=12/.5

x-11=24

x=24+11

x=35

.5(35-11)=12

.5(24)=12
