Answer 3

What is -1/2 as a decimal @Ail.A it'll be easier if we do it like that.

Answer 4

Answer 6

you're close. It's -.50 or just -.5. What do you think you should do first? We want to get x by itself.

Answer 7

You could do that. But I think it would be simpler to add 1 to both sides to cancel out the -1.
