How to solve (x-1)/2=1/4x+8

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$(x-1)/2=1/4x+8$$

Solve for x

$x=34$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $4$, the least common multiple of $2,4$.

$$2\left(x-1\right)=1x+32$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $x-1$.

$$2x-2=1x+32$$

Subtract $1x$ from both sides.

$$2x-2-x=32$$

Combine $2x$ and $-x$ to get $x$.

$$x-2=32$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$x=32+2$$

Add $32$ and $2$ to get $34$.

$$x=34$$
