Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x-10 = 6

Isolate the x.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x = 6+10

Simplify.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x = 16

([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x × 2 = [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]x) Find x.

[tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]x = 16 × 2

Simplify.

[tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]x = 32
