Question

. . If 1/2x+7=16, what is the value of 2x + 1?
A. -5
B. -27
C. -53
D. -137

Answer 1

\[\frac{1}{2x+7}=16?\]

Answer 2

or is it
\[\frac{1}{2x}+7=16\]

Answer 3

or is it
\[\frac{1}{2}x+7=16\]

Answer 4

1st, 2nd, or 3rd?

Answer 5

\[\frac{1}{2}x=16-7\]
\[\frac{1}{2}x=9\]
\[x=2*9=18\]
so
2*18+1=37

Answer 6

so i you don't mean the third one do you?
i'm not playing guessing game anymore

Answer 7

yes its c... but i dont know how you did it

Answer 8

what is the equation you have?
you never answer that
i assumed it was the third one because base on what you wrote it is that but i didn't get any of those answers
so can please tell me of the equations i wrote which one you meant

Answer 9

how did you get c i know thats the answer

Answer 10

idk??? how to get the answer i just know its c

Answer 11

i know but which of the equations is it suppose be
do you see the one's i wrote above?

Answer 12

arboring, we're having trouble with your typing of the problem. As myininaya points out, we could interpret the expression you typed in several ways, each of which would give a different answer.

however, as you say the answer is C. -53, we can work backwards to establish that x = -27. So now we have to work out what expression in x on the LHS of your expression = 16.

Answer 13

this is a question from a practice thea test i copied it word for word on here, so there is no mistakes in the question.

Answer 14
