6=(x+3)/(2)

To solve the equation, we should isolate x on one side and the numerical term on the other side

So we have to multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the denominator 2 from the right side


\begin{gathered} 6*2=((x+3))/(2)*2 \\ 12=x+3 \end{gathered}

Now want to move 3 from the right side to the left side

Subtract 3 from both sides


\begin{gathered} 12-3=x+3-3 \\ 9=x \end{gathered}

The solution is x = 9
