\[x = 28\] \[0.5x - 2.5 = 3.5\]
Next, we will multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
To solve this equation, we will start by distributing the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
\[0.5x = 6\]
\[2x + 6 = 12\]
\[x = 28\] \[0.5x - 2.5 = 3.5\]
Next, we will multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
To solve this equation, we will start by distributing the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
