-x/2 + 10 = -x + 12

Rearrange the terms to get..

-x/2 + x = 12 - 10

-x/2 + 2x/2 = 2

x/2 = 2

x/2 * 2 = 2 * 2

x = 4

I hope this helps!

you will possibly desire to separate the "x" from the rest: a million/2x - 10 = 12 might nicely be written as a million/2x = 12 + 10 so a million/2x = 22. then you fairly multiply the two factor by skill of two to have x: 2 * a million/2x = 2 * 22 so x = 40 4

Multiply each side by 2x to clear the denominator,

2x (-1/2x + 10) = 2x (−x + 12)

-1 + 20x = -2x² + 24x

Now, move everything to the left hand side,

2x² - 4x - 1 = 0

Now you have a quadratic equation that is easily solved using the quadratic formula.

- 1/2x + 10 = - x + 12

1/2x = 2

(2/1)1/2x = (2/1)2

x = 4.

-.5x + 10 = -x +12 (subtract 10 from both sides)

-.5x = -x +2 (Add X to both sides)

.5x = 2 (Multiply both sides by 2)

x=4

Check:

-.5 (4) = -4 +2

-2 = -2
