Answer:

b) x = 1

Explanation:

Given statement,

→ three halves plus one half times x is equals two x.

Forming the equation,

→ (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2)x = 2x

Now the value of x will be,

→ (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2)x = 2x

→ (1 + 1 + 1)/2 = 2x - (1/2)x

→ 3/2 = ((4 - 1)/2)x

→ 3/2 = (3/2)x

→ (3/2)x = 3/2

→ x = (3/2) × (2/3)

→ x = (3 × 2)/(2 × 3)

→ x = 6/6

→ [ x = 1 ]

Hence, the value of x is 1.
