Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

since x+24 is in parenthesis, we need to distribute 1/2 to all the parts inside the parenthesis.

1/2 * x = 1/2x

1/2 * 24= 12

1/2x+12=21

subtract 12 from both sides

1/2x= 9

divide 1/2 from both sides

x=18

so your answer would be x=18

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(x+24)=21 \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}x + 12 = 21\\\\x = 18[/tex]

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(x+24) = 21\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}*x = \frac{1}{2} \\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2} * 24 = 12\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}x + 12 = 21\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}x + 12 - 12 = 21 - 12\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}x = 9\\\\\rightarrow (\frac{1}{2}x)2 = 9 * 2\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{x = 18}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻
