Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 2.5}}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{ (3)/(x - 1) = 2}

Do cross multiplication


\longrightarrow{ \sf{2(x - 1) = 3}}

Distribute 2 through the parentheses


\longrightarrow{ \sf{2x - 2 = 3}}

Move 2 to right hand side and change it's sign


\longrightarrow {\sf{2x = 3 + 2}}

Add the numbers : 3 and 2


\longrightarrow{ \sf{2x = 5}}

Divide both sides by 2


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (2x)/(2) = (5)/(2)}}

Calculate


\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 2.5}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
