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
