1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the equation 3x1.5=13.53x - 1.5 = 13.5 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, we add 1.51.5 to both sides of the equation:
3x1.5+1.5=13.5+1.53x - 1.5 + 1.5 = 13.5 + 1.5
3x=153x = 15
Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 33:
3x3=153\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
x=5x = 5

3. Final Answer

x=5x = 5
