3/2(x - 10 ) = 1/2 x + 5
expand by using distributive property
3/2 x - 15 = 1/2 x + 5
subtract (1/2 x ) on both sides
x - 15 = 5
add 15 on both sides
x = 20

answer
C. x = 20

So firstly with this equation, you're gonna want to multiply
(3)/(2) with x-10 and that should bring the equation to
(3)/(2) x-15= (1)/(2) x+5 .

Next, you're gonna want to add 15 on each side and your equation should look like
(3)/(2) x= (1)/(2) x+20 .

Now you're gonna subtract
(1)/(2) x on each side and your equation should look like
(2)/(2) x=20.

And since 2/2 is equal to one, your answer is
x=20
