Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:
5/8(x + 1/2) = 100
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/5, which is 5/8:
(5/8)(5/8)(x + 1/2) = (5/8)(100)
(x + 1/2) = (500/8)
Next, we can simplify the right side by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4:
(x + 1/2) = 62.5
Then, subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
x = 62.5 - 1/2
Simplifying further:
x = 62.5 - 0.5
x = 62
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B) 62
