Solve the following equation. Show your work for credit.
3х -40 = 1/2x + 35

x=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3x−40=12x+35

Step 1: Subtract 1/2x from both sides.

3x−40−12x=12x+35−12x

52x−40=35

Step 2: Add 40 to both sides.

52x−40+40=35+40

52x=75

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2/5.

(2/5)*(5/2 x)=(2/5)*(75)

x=30

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
