Problem DescriptionWe are asked to solve the equation 3x−1.5=13.53x - 1.5 = 13.53x−1.5=13.5 for xxx.2. Solution StepsFirst, we add 1.51.51.5 to both sides of the equation:3x−1.5+1.5=13.5+1.53x - 1.5 + 1.5 = 13.5 + 1.53x−1.5+1.5=13.5+1.53x=153x = 153x=15Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 333:3x3=153\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3}33x=315x=5x = 5x=53. Final Answerx=5x = 5x=5
