Use the following process for each. We'll do the first one, then you cna use the same idea to do the other two.
x%2F2%2B1=3 Isolate the term with x by subtracting the constant on the left (sub 1 from both sides). To get
x%2F2+=+2 Now get x 'by itself'. In this case, multiply both sides by 2
x+=+4
For the next one
3x%2F2%2B1=4 Isolate the term with x
3x%2F2+=+3 Now get x 'by itself'. Multiply by 2/3
x+=+%282%2F3%29%2A3
x+=+2
You can do the last one
