Solve 5x+1/2=3

$$5x+ \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } =3$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$5x=3-\frac{1}{2}$$

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

$$5x=\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

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

$$5x=\frac{6-1}{2}$$

Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.

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

Divide both sides by 5.

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

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

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

Cancel out 5 in both numerator and denominator.

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