Q. Solve for x x and write your answer in simplest form.\newline12+2(10x+32)9x=34(8x5) -\frac{1}{2}+2\left(10 x+\frac{3}{2}\right)-9 x=\frac{3}{4}(8 x-5) \newlineAnswer: x= x=
  1. Identify Equation: Identify and write down the given equation.\newline12+2(10x+32)9x=34(8x5)-\frac{1}{2} + 2(10x + \frac{3}{2}) - 9x = \frac{3}{4}(8x - 5)
  2. Distribute Left Side: Distribute the 22 into the parentheses on the left side of the equation.12+2×10x+2×329x=34(8x5)-\frac{1}{2} + 2 \times 10x + 2 \times \frac{3}{2} - 9x = \frac{3}{4}(8x - 5)
  3. Simplify Left Side: Simplify the left side of the equation by performing the multiplication. 12+20x+39x=34(8x5)-\frac{1}{2} + 20x + 3 - 9x = \frac{3}{4}(8x - 5)
  4. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline20x9x+312=34(8x5)20x - 9x + 3 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4}(8x - 5)
  5. Further Simplify Left: Further simplify the left side by combining the xx terms and the constants.11x+2.5=34(8x5)11x + 2.5 = \frac{3}{4}(8x - 5)
  6. Distribute Right Side: Distribute the 34\frac{3}{4} on the right side of the equation.11x+2.5=34×8x34×511x + 2.5 = \frac{3}{4} \times 8x - \frac{3}{4} \times 5
  7. Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side of the equation by performing the multiplication. 11x+2.5=6x15411x + 2.5 = 6x - \frac{15}{4}
  8. Subtract 6x6x: Subtract 6x6x from both sides of the equation to get all xx terms on one side.\newline11x6x+2.5=6x6x15411x - 6x + 2.5 = 6x - 6x - \frac{15}{4}
  9. Combine Like Terms: Simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms. 5x+2.5=1545x + 2.5 = -\frac{15}{4}
  10. Subtract 22.55: Subtract 2.52.5 from both sides of the equation to isolate the xx term.\newline5x+2.52.5=1542.55x + 2.5 - 2.5 = -\frac{15}{4} - 2.5
  11. Convert to Fraction: Convert 2.52.5 to a fraction with the same denominator as (15)/(4)(15)/(4) to combine the constants.\newline5x=(15)/(4)(10)/(4)5x = -(15)/(4) - (10)/(4)
  12. Combine Constants: Combine the constants on the right side of the equation. 5x=2545x = -\frac{25}{4}
  13. Divide by 55: Divide both sides of the equation by 55 to solve for xx.x=(254)5x = \frac{{-(\frac{25}{4})}}{5}
  14. Simplify Right Side: Simplify the right side by dividing the numerator by 55.x=2520x = -\frac{25}{20}
  15. Reduce Fraction: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form. x=54x = -\frac{5}{4}
