1/2 x + 13 = 9 (x Is Variable)

x= -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x + 13=9

- move 13 to the other side

1/2x= 9-13

-simply 9-13

1/2x= -4

-multiply 2 on both sides

1x=-8

x=-8

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 x + 13 = 9

- Combine all like terms by subtracting 13 from both sides.

1/2x = -4

- Divide 1/2 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.

x = -8
