What is .5 times x plus x?

Answer 1

Well there are a few ways to "read" the question you wrote...
What is the answer to 0.5 times 'x' and then add 'x' to that answer
0.5(x) + x = ?

or

What I think is being looked for is this: What is x + x and that answer multiplied by 0.5

Therefore, what is the answer to 0.5(x + x) = ?

I think the question is the second equation.

To answer this equation, you would multiply 0.5 to x, then multiply 0.5 to the other x, equaling 0.5x + 0.5x. Then add the two together (0.5x + 0.5x) and you get 1.0x or just 'x'

Therefore, 0.5(x +x) = 1x or "x"
