Solve 1/2 * x - 3 = 5 + 1/3 * x

Evaluate

\frac{1}{2} x - 3 = 5 + \frac{1}{3} x

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

(\frac{1}{2} x - 3) \times 6 = (5 + \frac{1}{3} x) \times 6

Calculate

3 x - 18 = (5 + \frac{1}{3} x) \times 6

Calculate

More Steps

3 x - 18 = 30 + 2 x

Move the expression to the left side

3 x - 18 - 2 x = 30

Move the expression to the right side

3 x - 2 x = 30 + 18

Add and subtract

More Steps

x = 30 + 18

Solution

x = 48
