You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given: X%2F2+%2B+75+=+2X
Multiply every thing by 2 to get rid of the fraction.
X+%2B+150+=+4X
Subtract X from both sides.
150+=+3X
Note that 3X is equal to 150 so you can stop there.
--------------------------------
If you want to solve for X:
150+=+3X
Divide both sides by 3
