Question

1/2 X + 6 = 52
92
46
26
104

Answer 1

92

Answer 2

there are 2 ways to do this...

1/2x + 6 = 52 -- subtract 6 from both sides
1/2x = 52 - 6
1/2x = 46 -- divide both sides by 1/2 to get x by itself
(1/2x)/(1/2) = 46/(1/2)
x = 46 * 2/1
x = 92

or this way, if you do not want to deal with fractions
1/2x + 6 = 52 -- multiply the entire equation by the LCD which is 2
x + 12 = 104 -- subtract 12 from both sides
x = 104 - 12
x = 92
