1/2(x - 3) = 2/3(x - 8)

<em><u>Distributive property on both sides.</u></em>

0.5x - 1.5 = 0.7x -5.3

<em><u>Add 5.3 to both sides.</u></em>

0.5x + 3.8 = 0.7x

<em><u>Subtract 0.5x from both sides.</u></em>

3.8 = 0.2x

<em><u>Multiply both sides by 5.</u></em>

x = 19 (This is your answer.)

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
