Solve 1x+(20-x)1/2=11

$$1 x + ( 20 - x ) \frac { 1 } { 2 } = 11$$

Solve for x

$$x=2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 20-x by \frac{1}{2}.

$$1x+20\times \frac{1}{2}-x\times \frac{1}{2}=11$$

Multiply 20 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{20}{2}.

$$1x+\frac{20}{2}-x\times \frac{1}{2}=11$$

Divide 20 by 2 to get 10.

$$1x+10-x\times \frac{1}{2}=11$$

Multiply -1 and \frac{1}{2} to get -\frac{1}{2}.

$$1x+10-\frac{1}{2}x=11$$

Combine 1x and -\frac{1}{2}x to get \frac{1}{2}x.

$$\frac{1}{2}x+10=11$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$\frac{1}{2}x=11-10$$

Subtract 10 from 11 to get 1.

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

Multiply both sides by 2, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$x=1\times 2$$

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$x=2$$
