How do I figure this problem out 2x+23=92

x = 69/2 or x=39.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 23 from both sides: 2x+23-23=92-23 Simplify: 2x=69 Divide both sides by 2: 2x/2=69/2 x=69/2 or x=39.5

2x+23=92

Move + 23 to the other side.

Sign changes from + 23 to - 23.

2x+23-23=92-23

2x=92-23

2x=69

divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself

2x/2=69/2

Cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and then becomes 1*1*x=x

Answer:

x=69/2 and x=34.5 and x=34 1/2
