Answer:

15/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the below equation;


\begin{gathered} 10x-6=3(x+(1)/(2)) \\ \end{gathered}

The 1st step to solving the above is to open the parenthesis;


10x-6=3x+(3)/(2)

The 2nd step is to add subtract 3x and add 6 to both sides of the equation and solve for x;


\begin{gathered} 10x-3x=6+(3)/(2) \\ 7x=(15)/(2) \\ 14x=15 \\ x=(15)/(14) \end{gathered}
