Solve x*(1+1/2)=36

$$x \times ( 1 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) = 36$$

Solve for x

$$x=24$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$x\left(\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\right)=36$$

Since \frac{2}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x\times \frac{2+1}{2}=36$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$x\times \frac{3}{2}=36$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2}.

$$x=36\times \frac{2}{3}$$

Express 36\times \frac{2}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{36\times 2}{3}$$

Multiply 36 and 2 to get 72.

$$x=\frac{72}{3}$$

Divide 72 by 3 to get 24.

$$x=24$$
