Sagot :

Answer:

one

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x + 12) = 4x - 1 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

x + 12 = 8x - 2 ( subtract x from both sides )

12 = 7x - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

14 = 7x ( divide both sides by 7 )

2 = x

There is one solution to the equation, that is x = 2
