Question 136253
Hopefully the same way I do.


If {{{(1/2)x+2/3=1}}} is the equation, then


Add -2/3 to both sides:
{{{(1/2)x+2/3-2/3=1-2/3}}}
{{{(1/2)x=1/3}}}


Multiply by 2:
{{{x=2/3}}}


============================================================



If {{{1/2x+2/3=1}}} is the equation, then


Add -2/3 to both sides:
{{{1/2x+2/3-2/3=1-2/3}}}
{{{1/2x=1/3}}}


Multiply both sides by 3:
{{{3/2x=1}}}


Multiply both sides by 2x:
{{{3=2x}}}


Divide both sides by 2:
{{{x=3/2}}}
