Solve 2(x-4)=1

$$2 ( x - 4 ) = 1$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{9}{2} = 4\frac{1}{2} = 4.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x-4=\frac{1}{2}$$

Add 4 to both sides.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}+4$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{8}{2}.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{8}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{8}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{1+8}{2}$$

Add 1 and 8 to get 9.

$$x=\frac{9}{2}$$
