Answer 2

Answer:

$Value \: of \: x = \frac{7}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given \: simple\: equation\:\\2x-\frac{1}{2}=3$

Multiply each term by 2 , we get

=> 4x-1=6

Add both sides by 1 , we get

=> 4x - 1 + 1 = 6 + 1

=> 4x = 7

$\implies x = \frac{7}{4}$

Therefore,

$Value \: of \: x = \frac{7}{4}$

Verification:

$\: Substitute\:x=\frac{7}{4}\:in \:the \:equation.$

$2\times \frac{7}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=3$

$\implies \frac{7}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=3$

$\implies \frac{7-1}{2}=3$

$\implies \frac{6}{2}=3$

$\implies 3=3 \:(True)$
