yes

Well then simple, just multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction and solve from there.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
they say the answer is x = 3
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
Did you solve it out?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes its still not right...i think.
i did this
2/1(1/2)= 1
1(x+3)-2=1
x + 1 = 1
x = 0
than that didnt work so i did this
2(1/2)((2)x+2(3))-2(2)=2(1)
2x + 6 - 4 = 2
2x + 2 = 2
2x = 0
its supposed to be x = 3
