Question 147232
{{{(1/2)x=3&5/6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{(1/2)x=23/6}}} Convert the mixed number {{{3&5/6}}} into the improper fraction {{{23/6}}}



{{{6((1/cross(2))x)=cross(6)(23/cross(6))}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{6}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{3x=23}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{x=(23)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.
