Solve g=5+x/2

$$g = \frac { 5 + x } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=2g-5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of 5+x by 2 to get \frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}x.

$$g=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}x$$

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

$$\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}x=g$$

Subtract \frac{5}{2} from both sides.

$$\frac{1}{2}x=g-\frac{5}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$$\frac{\frac{1}{2}x}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{g-\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Dividing by \frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}.

$$x=\frac{g-\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Divide g-\frac{5}{2} by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying g-\frac{5}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$x=2g-5$$

Solve for g

$$g=\frac{x+5}{2}$$

Solution Steps

Divide each term of 5+x by 2 to get \frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}x.

$$g=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}x$$
