Jace AndersonTo solve the equation 1/2(x-4)-(5+x) = 0, follow these steps:
- Distribute the 1/2 to (x-4): (1/2)x - 2.
- Distribute the negative sign to (5+x): -5 - x.
- Rewrite the equation: (1/2)x - 2 - 5 - x = 0.
- Combine like terms: (1/2)x - x - 7 = 0.
- Simplify: (1/2)x - (2x) - 7 = 0.
- Combine like terms: -(3/2)x - 7 = 0.
- Add 7 to both sides: -(3/2)x = 7.
- Multiply both sides by -2/3: x = -14/3.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
