To solve these equations, we can start by solving the first equation:
0.5x + 1 = -x + 4Add x to both sides:0.5x + x + 1 = 41.5x + 1 = 4Subtract 1 from both sides:1.5x = 3Divide by 1.5:x = 2
Now we can substitute x = 2 into the second equation to solve for x:
2 - x = x - 22 - 2 = 2 - 20 = 0
Therefore, x = 2 is a solution to both equations.
To solve these equations, we can start by solving the first equation:
0.5x + 1 = -x + 4
Add x to both sides:
0.5x + x + 1 = 4
1.5x + 1 = 4
Subtract 1 from both sides:
1.5x = 3
Divide by 1.5:
x = 2
Now we can substitute x = 2 into the second equation to solve for x:
2 - x = x - 2
2 - 2 = 2 - 2
0 = 0
Therefore, x = 2 is a solution to both equations.
