Answer:
Both expression equals 5 when substituting 2 for x, because the expressions are equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expressions:
(1/2)x + 4
x + 6 - (1/2)x - 2
Substituting 2 for x in the equation :
(1/2)x + 4
x = 5
(1/2)2 + 4
2/2 + 4
1 + 4
= 5
x + 6 - (1/2)x - 2
Substituting 2 for x
2 + 6 - (1/2)2 - 2
8 - 2/2 - 2
8 - 1 - 2
= 5
