Question

Solve each of the following equations and check your answers: $x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

Answer 1

Given,

$x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

or, $x=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$

or, $x=\frac{6}{2}$

or, $x=3$.

Verification:

Now we have,

$3+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6+1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

Hence $x=3$ is the correct answer.
