To solve the equation you need to isolate x onto one side of the equation.
I assume the equation is ( x / 2 ) + 1 = ( -5 )
First you subtract 1 from each side ( x / 2 ) + (1 - 1) = ( -5 ) - 1:
( x / 2 ) = -6
Next we have x over 2 so you multiply each side by 2 to isolate the x:
( 2x / 2 ) = -6 * 2
Which simplifies to x = -12
The solution to the equation is x = -12
When a problem statement refers to a "table," you need to share that table. Frequently the words alone are not enough to define a problem for your helpers.
Solve: x/2+ 1 = -5
1) Subtract 1 from both sides of this equation. Result: x/2 = -6
2) Multiply both sides by 2, to eliminate the fraction: Result: x = - 12.
