Answer:

x= 288

Explanation:

1/2x-3=141

-3+3 which cancels out and you do 141+3 which gives you 145

you are left with 1/2x=145

and you divide 145 by 1/2x and you get

x=288

i hope this is right

Answer:

1/2x-3=141

so first add 3 from both sides:

1/2x=141+3

1/2x=144

next divide is 1/2 on both sides

x=144/(1/2)

x=288
