Answer:

4/3

Explanation:

10 + 3x = 12 + 1.5x

We first can subtract 10 from both sides:

3x = 2 + 1.5x

Then we can subtract 1.5x from both sides:

1.5x = 2

Dividing both sides by 1.5:

x = 2/1.5 = 20/15 = 4/3

Thus, x = 4/3 is our answer.

Note that that is 1.3333.... in decimal form, 1 1/3 as a mixed number.
