Solve for x: 2x+3+((4x-1)/2)=10

Solve for x: 2x+3+((4x-1)/2)=10 First of all, move all the values on the left-hand side of the equation that are not in brackets over to the right-hand side of the equation so as to make the fraction (in brackets) more easy to deal with. In order to do this you must perform the same calculation (that would remove these values on the left) to both sides of the equation (in this case subtract 2x and 3): (4x-1)/2= 10-2x-3 Repeat this concept by mulitplying both sides by 2 in order to get rid of the fraction: 4x-1= 20-4x-6 Now that the fraction is gone, it is a much easier problem to solve. Finish by bringing all multiples of x to the same side of the equation and then simplify so that it is clear what a single x value is equal to: 8x-1= 20-6 8x= 15 x= 15/8
