Solve 34=1/2*4(10+x)

$$34= \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \times 4(10+x)$$

Solve for x

$$x=7$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 4 to get \frac{4}{2}.

$$34=\frac{4}{2}\left(10+x\right)$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$34=2\left(10+x\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 10+x.

$$34=20+2x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$20+2x=34$$

Subtract 20 from both sides.

$$2x=34-20$$

Subtract 20 from 34 to get 14.

$$2x=14$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{14}{2}$$

Divide 14 by 2 to get 7.

$$x=7$$
