(1/2)x=2 I assume this is the equation you are working with, please correct me if I'm wrong.
(1/2)x=2 The first step from here is to get the x by itself. To do this, you need to get rid of the 1/2. To do this, you must divide both sides by 1/2 (which is the same thing as multiplying by 2)
(2)(1/2)x=2(2)
(1)x=4
x=4 And there you go

ans: 9 Let the number be x, ((1/2)*x)=3+(1/6)*x, Then solve x
1050 x 1/2 x 1/5 x 1/5 + 5 = 26
You will never succeed in life if you can't solve problems yourself!
x = .5x - 4. Get all of the x's on one side: x - .5x = .5x - .5x -4 ---> .5x = -4 Multiply each side by 2. x = -8
You can't. You need 2 equations to solve for 2 unknowns
