Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(b)
[tex]\frac{2x+1}{3}[/tex] = 5 - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x
Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 3 and 2 ) to clear the fractions
2(2x + 1) = 30 - 3x , distribute parenthesis on left side
4x + 2 = 30 - 3x ( add 3x to both sides )
7x + 2 = 30 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
7x = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 4
