PLEASE HELP X/2-7=9

Show your work in details if you can, I have a hard time understanding this.

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2  - 7 = 9                  Add 7 to both sides

      +7     7

x/2 = 16                        Multiply both sides by 2

2*x/2 = 16*2        

x = 32

You are at about the second stage of solving equations. So far what you should know is that you should add or subtract before doing multiplication or division.

Take a much simpler question

x - 8 = 10        What do you do here? You can't multiply or divide. So add

  +8    8

x    =    18

Now try what you have

2x - 5 = 11                      Add before multiplication or division

    5      5

2x = 16                          Divide by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8
