%28x-3%29%2F2%2B%283%2F2%29=5x


Step 1. Multiply by 2 to both sides of equation to get rid of denominator

2%28x-3%29%2F2%2B%282%2A3%29%2F2=2%2A5x

x-3%2B6=10x

x%2B3=10x

Step 2. Add -x to both sides to get x terms on one side and numbers on the other side.

x%2B3-x=10x-x

3=9x
Step 3. Divide by 9 to both sides to solve for x.

3%2F9=9x%2F9

1%2F3=x

x=1%2F3

Step 4. Answer is x=1/3

I hope the above steps were helpful.

And good luck in your studies!
