Answer 1

@Lindsay_552, your question is unclear, can you draw it out?

Answer 2

So I understand your problem to be:

You want to get the variable "X" by itself. To do this you want to reverse the division and subtraction from the left side of the equation. So, we will start by multiplying both sides by 2. This looks like: Where the 2 on the far left cancels the 2 in the denominator. From here you can add 3 to both side of the equation to find X and solve your problem.
