Question

$$x/10+70-x/2=19$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{255}{2} = 127\frac{1}{2} = 127.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $10$, the least common multiple of $10,2$.

$$x+700-5x=190$$

Combine $x$ and $-5x$ to get $-4x$.

$$-4x+700=190$$

Subtract $700$ from both sides.

$$-4x=190-700$$

Subtract $700$ from $190$ to get $-510$.

$$-4x=-510$$

Divide both sides by $-4$.

$$x=\frac{-510}{-4}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-510}{-4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $-2$.

$$x=\frac{255}{2}$$
