Question 733653
.5(x-9) = 3/4 

0.5x-4.5 = 3/4 (Distribute)

4(0.5x-4.5)=4(3/4) (Multiply both sides by LCD (4) to clear any fractions)

2x-18=3 (Distribute & Multiply) 

2x=3+18 (Add 18 to both sides)

2x=21 (Combine like terms on right side)

x=21/2 (Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x)
-------------

Answer or Solution is: x=21/2
