Worked through step by step. More equations.

Answer
x=5\boxed{x = 5}

Substituting 55 back into the original equation gives 0.5(5)+1.2=2.5+1.2=3.70.5(5) + 1.2 = 2.5 + 1.2 = 3.7, which confirms the solution is correct.

Problem: Solve for xx in the linear equation 0.5x+1.2=3.70.5x + 1.2 = 3.7.

Steps

  1. Subtract 1.2 from both sides
    0.5x=3.7−1.20.5x = 3.7 - 1.2
  2. Simplify the right side
    0.5x=2.50.5x = 2.5
  3. Divide both sides by 0.5
    x=2.50.5x = \frac{2.5}{0.5}
  4. Simplify the fraction
    x=5x = 5
