(x+20)/2+3x (x+20)/2+(3x)(2/2) (x+20)/2+(6x)/2 (x+20+6x)/2 (7x+20)/2

& the awnser is what ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \frac{x+20}{2}+3x = \frac{7x+20}{2}\] So the answer is \[\Large \frac{7x+20}{2}\]

It can only be : a.10 b.4 c.-14 d.-17

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

did they give you an x value to work with (ie x = 2)??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhmm idk. it just says (X+20) over 2 = 3x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh ok, thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome !

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \frac{x+20}{2}=3x\] \[\Large x+20=2(3x)\] \[\Large x+20=6x\] \[\Large 20=6x-x\] \[\Large 20=5x\] \[\Large \frac{20}{5}=x\] \[\Large 4=x\] \[\Large x=4\]
