Answer:
x = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
8(-2x+1) =0
Divide each side by 8
-2x+1 = 0
Add 2x to each side
-2x+1+2x = 2x
1 = 2x
Divide by 2
1/2 = 2x/2
1/2 =x
1/2
8(-2x+1)=0
Use distributive property first
-16x+8=0
Subtract 8 on both sides
-16x=-8
Divide both sides by -16 to get x by itself
x=0.5
Which is also equal to 1/2
Therefore, x is equal to 1/2
