- 1/2 (5x-9)=17

What is this lol?

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2(5x - 9) = 17

-2.5x + 4.5 = 17                     Distribute -1/2 to the numbers in the paranthesis

-2.5x = 12.5                           Subtract 4.5 from both sides

x = -5                                     Divide -2.5 from both sides

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
