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

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.

Solve for x

$x=6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of $x+2$ by $2$ to get $\frac{1}{2}x+1$.

$$x=x-4+\frac{1}{2}x+1$$

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{2}x$ to get $\frac{3}{2}x$.

$$x=\frac{3}{2}x-4+1$$

Add $-4$ and $1$ to get $-3$.

$$x=\frac{3}{2}x-3$$

Subtract $\frac{3}{2}x$ from both sides.

$$x-\frac{3}{2}x=-3$$

Combine $x$ and $-\frac{3}{2}x$ to get $-\frac{1}{2}x$.

$$-\frac{1}{2}x=-3$$

Multiply both sides by $-2$, the reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{2}$.

$$x=-3\left(-2\right)$$

Multiply $-3$ and $-2$ to get $6$.

$$x=6$$
