Solve 1/2+2x=3

$$1 / 2 + 2 x = 3$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides.

$$2x=3-\frac{1}{2}$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{6}{2}.

$$2x=\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since \frac{6}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{6-1}{2}$$

Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.

$$2x=\frac{5}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{5}{2\times 2}$$

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$x=\frac{5}{4}$$
