Question #N65
If $\frac{x}{2} + 3 = 5$, what is the value of $x$?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 6
D. 8
Correct Answer is: B
To solve for $x$, we first subtract 3 from both sides of the equation: $\frac{x}{2} + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3$. This gives us $\frac{x}{2} = 2$. Then, we multiply both sides of the equation by 2: $2 \cdot \frac{x}{2} = 2 \cdot 2$, which simplifies to $x = 4$.
