Solve the equation below for x.
0.5(x + 7) + 9 = 43

The solution to the value of x in the equation is 61

In a mathematical concept, an algebraic expression consists of variables, constants with their arithmetic operations.

From the given parameters

0.5(x + 7) + 9 = 43

Open brackets

0.5x + 3.5 + 9 = 43

0.5x + 12.5 = 43

0.5x = 43 - 12.5

0.5x = 30.5

x = 30.5/0.5

x = 61

x = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(x + 7) + 9 = 43

0.5x + 3.5 + 9.0 = 43

0.5x + 12.5 = 43.0

0.5x = 30.5

x = 30.5 / 0.5

x = 61

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
