5x-2=1/2
how do you solve
algebra
plz help

X=0.5 or 1/2

Explanation:

If you are trying to solve for X, you must first isolate the variable by adding two on both sides of the equation

5x-2=1/2

    +2    +2

Then you have

5x=1/2+2

You can simplify this by adding 1/2 and 2 together to get 2.5 or 2 and 1/2

Then, to further isolate the variable, divide both sides by 5

5x/5= 2.5/5

The fives cancel out on the left side so you are left with

x=0.5 or 1/2
