How do you solve #x/2 + 3 = 3#?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

#color(magenta)(x=0#

#x/2+3=3#

#x/2=3-3#

#x/2=0#

#x=0xx2#

#color(magenta)(x=0#

I hope this is helpful.

See a solution process below:

First, subtract #color(red)(3)# from each side of the equation to isolate the #x# term while keeping the equation balanced:

#x/2 + 3 - color(red)(3) = 3 - color(red)(3)#

#x/2 + 0 = 0#

#x/2 = 0#

Now, multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(2)# to solve for #x# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(2) xx x/2 = color(red)(2) xx 0#

#cancel(color(red)(2)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2))) = 0#

#x = 0#

To solve the equation ( \frac{x}{2} + 3 = 3 ), you would first subtract 3 from both sides to isolate ( \frac{x}{2} ), giving you ( \frac{x}{2} = 0 ). Then, multiply both sides by 2 to solve for x, resulting in ( x = 0 ).

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.
