Thanks, but I want to know the steps to complete it

mathmale · Answer

You must group the x-terms on one side of the equation and the constant(s) on the other.  I'd suggest you first eliminate the fraction from this problem.

mathmale · Answer

Our answers differ.

You have   13+x/2=3x    and are to mult. all terms by 2.  That gives you 26+x=6x.

mathmale · Answer

Subtract x from both sides and simplify the result.  What do you get?

Your task here is to group all "x" terms on one side of your equation and all constants on the other.
