Question

What did I do wrong here???
x/2 + 7 = 9
x/2 + 7 - 7 = 9 - 7
x/2 = 1
2 * x/2 = 2 * 1
x = 2
Check:
x/2 + 7 = 9
2/2 + 7 = 8?

Answer 1

Isn't that correct?

Answer 2

no cause when I check it 2/2 + 7 = 8 not 9

Answer 3

I mean, \(\dfrac{2}{2 } + 7 = 1 + 7 = 8\) which is correct

Answer 4

\[\dfrac{2}{2} =1 \]Right?

Answer 5

Yeah

Answer 6

So \(\dfrac{2}{2} + 7\) is the same as \(1 + 7\), right?

Answer 7

But I am trying to fin x =? The equation has to =9 not 8

Answer 8

Uh oh, I read it wrong.

Answer 9

You wrote \(9 - 7 = 1\) in one step. :-)
