Let's solve the equation:

$\frac{x}{2} + 1 = 5$

1. Subtract 1 from both sides:

$\frac{x}{2} = 5 - 1$ $\frac{x}{2} = 4$

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate $x$:

$x = 4 \times 2$ $x = 8$

So, the solution is $x = 8$.

2. What happens if the equation had $\frac{x}{2} - 1 = 5$ instead?
3. How can you check if $x = 8$ is the correct solution?
4. What is the inverse operation of adding 1 to an equation?
5. How do you solve an equation with a negative term like $\frac{x}{3} + 4 = -2$?

Tip: When you have a fraction in an equation, multiplying both sides by the denominator helps eliminate the fraction quickly.
