Answer 6

Let's turn that -x into a fraction to make it look easier

\[-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+3=-\frac{ 2 }{ 2 }x+7\]

So, how could we get the 3 over to the other side of the = sign?

Answer 7

take terms of x one one side and numbers on other \[x-\frac{ x }{ 2 }=7-3\]

Answer 8

We would subtract the three?

Answer 9

Yeah, ash has already done those steps, so you can combine the like terms in his answer

Answer 10

how would we do that

Answer 11

Do them separately to make it easier

\[x-\frac{ x }{ 2 }=?\]

\[7-3=?\]

Answer 12

x/2 an 4

Answer 13

Now we can replace that with

\[\frac{ x }{ 2 } = 4\]

Answer 14

Then we multiply both sides by 2?
