I need this answer to my pre algebra class 1/2x = 13?

Question

I need help i can't do this without help.

Answer 1

Assume you mean:-
(1/2) x = 13
x = 26

Answer 2

1/2x=13
x=26 (In order to isolate the X divide both sides by 1/2, which is the same as multiplying them by 2. 1/2X/12=X. 13/12=26. Therefore X=26.)

Answer 3

26

Answer 4

first you need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying 2/1 to 1/2 and 13, which x=26, you can also check your answer when you are done to see if it is right

1/2(26)=13

Answer 5

When it comes to algebra problems, just think of them as a scale or teeter toter that needs to be balanced. Whatever you do to the left of the equal sign you must do to the right of the equal sign so that you can figure out your unknown variable--the x or n or whatever.

Ex. 2n=24
Now, 2n means 2 times n
So, to get rid of the 2 you have to divide it away from the left side, right? You want the n by itself.
2n divided by 2 is n
Now you move the 2 to the right of the equal sign and you divide 24 by 2 and get 12
Easy right?

Your problem has a fraction. How do you get rid of a fraction? (multiply by the reciprical Ex: 1/3 is multiplied by 3/1 on the left and then on the right.)

Good luck

x=26

Answer 6

1/2 x = 13

multiply both sides by 2 so you get

2 * (1/2) x = 2 * 13 (the * means times)

x = 26

Answer 7

1/2x = 13

multiply both sides by 2

1/2x * 2 = 13 * 2

x = 26

Answer 8

x=26

Your suppose to divide both sides by 1/2. Then you cancel out 1/2 (or 0.5) / 1/2 leaving x. Then on the other side divide 13 and 0.5=26

Answer 9

1/2x = 13

divide both sides by 1/2. then you have

x = 26

Answer 10

1/2x=13
*2 *2
x=26

Answer 11

26
