Solve 2x+3 + ((4x-1)/2) = 10
-
Divide everything in the brackets by 2. 2x+3 + (2x -1/2) =10
-
Collect like terms (collect 'x' terms and collect numbers). 2x + 2x + 3 -1/2 = 10
-
Simplify like terms. 4x + 2 1/2 = 10
-
Rearrange so 'x's are on one side of the equation and numbers on the other. 4x = 15/2
-
Divide by 4 to get x. x = 15/8
