Type your math problem... 1/2(24 - 2x) = 5/2(3-4x)

Question

Solve the equation

x = - \frac{1}{2}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.5

Evaluate

\frac{1}{2} (24 - 2 x) = \frac{5}{2} (3 - 4 x)

Multiply the terms

More Steps

12 - x = \frac{5}{2} (3 - 4 x)

Multiply the terms

More Steps

12 - x = \frac{15}{2} - 10 x

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

(12 - x) \times 2 = (\frac{15}{2} - 10 x) \times 2

Calculate

More Steps

24 - 2 x = (\frac{15}{2} - 10 x) \times 2

Calculate

More Steps

24 - 2 x = 15 - 20 x

Move the expression to the left side

24 - 2 x + 20 x = 15

Move the expression to the right side

- 2 x + 20 x = 15 - 24

Add and subtract

More Steps

18 x = 15 - 24

Add and subtract

18 x = - 9

Divide both sides

\frac{18 x}{18} = \frac{- 9}{18}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 9}{18}

Solution
