Question

solve for x. (1 point) $\frac{5}{8}(x+\frac{1}{2}) = 100$ o $160\frac{1}{2}$ o 62 o $159\frac{1}{2}$ o 63

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by $\frac{5}{8}$

$x+\frac{1}{2}=100\div\frac{5}{8}=100\times\frac{8}{5}=160$

Step2: Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from both sides

$x = 160-\frac{1}{2}=159\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$159\frac{1}{2}$
