What is the value of x when y = 5? y = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x + 1

What is the value of x when y = 5?

y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)  x + 1

Answer Details

We are given a linear equation y = (1/2)x + 1 and asked to find the value of x when y = 5. Substituting y = 5 into the equation, we get: 5 = (1/2)x + 1 Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get: 4 = (1/2)x Multiplying both sides by 2, we get: 8 = x Therefore, when y = 5, x = 8. Hence, the answer is (a) 8.
