To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.

For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:

Let's distribute the 0.5 first.


Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.

Then, we simplify the entire expression.


Our equation now:

Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.


Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.


Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.


Promtract it. I use it and it's easy to get along with and I will be there at all I just want to be sure that you are not feeling well and will be back in the office on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday are you doing today and how many miles are on the way to the airport now and I have a few questions about the answer is yes but I don't know if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time and I will be there.
2x5 and it will be...
The answer is .5 meaning half (1/2) of the petals fell off.
