Question

So for my high school algebra class we have a problem that says
`x + (1)/(2) x = 1725`Help!!!!

Answer 1

x = 1150

Explanation:

We have to find x. We have the following equation:

`x+(x)/(2)=1725`
`(2x+x)/(2)=1725`
`(3x)/(2)=1725`
`3x=1725\ast2`
`x=(1725\ast2)/(3)`

Since 1725/3 = 575

`x=575\ast2=1150`

x = 1150
