Solve for x - Solution and Explanation

==================================

Hello! So...

We are given the following to solve:

Solve for x.

`(2)/(3) (2x-(1)/(2))=13`

_______________________________________

1. Multiply both sides by 3.

`3` ×
`(2)/(3)(2x-(1)/(2))=13` ×
`3`

_______________________________________

2. Simplify.

`4x-1=39`

_______________________________________

3. Add 1 to both sides.

`4x-1+1=39+1`

_______________________________________

4. Simplify.

`4x=40`

_______________________________________

5. Divide both sides by 4.

`(4x)/(4) =(40)/(4)`

_______________________________________

6. Simplify.

`x=10`

^Hence, our solution.
