Chapter 10.2, Problem 28CCR

To determine

To calculate:The solutionof the given equation.

Answer to Problem 28CCR

The solution of the given equation is $x=-5.5$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The given equation is $-4\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+1=12$ .

Calculation:

The equation is $-4\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+1=12$ …… (1)

The solution of equation (1) is

  $\begin{array}{l}-4\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+1=12\\ -2x+1=12\\ -2x=12-1\\ -2x=11\\ x=-\frac{11}{2}\\ x=-5.5\end{array}$

Hence the solution of the given equation is $x=-5.5$ .
