Question

−1/2 (x+2) + 3/2x =3
solve for x

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer you should be getting is
`x=4`

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation :

`((-1)/(2))(x)+((-1)/(2))(2)+(3)/(2)x=3`
`(Distribute)`

`(-1)/(2)x+-1+(3)/(2)x=3`

`((-1)/(2)x+(3)/(2)x)+(-1)=3`
`(Combine the like terms)`

`x+-1=3`

`x-1=3`

Step 2: Add 1 to both the sides :

`x-1+1=3+1`

`x=4`

You got your answer as x = 4
