Solve 5x-10=(x 1)/2

Evaluate

5 x - 10 = \frac{x \times 1}{2}

Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same

5 x - 10 = \frac{x}{2}

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

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

Simplify the equation

More Steps

10 x - 20 = \frac{x}{2} \times 2

Simplify the equation

10 x - 20 = x

Move the variable to the left side

10 x - 20 - x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

9 x - 20 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

9 x = 0 + 20

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

9 x = 20

Divide both sides

\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{20}{9}

Solution

x = \frac{20}{9}

Alternative Form

x = 2. \dot{2}
