Step by step: Start by distributing 3/4 into everything inside the parentheses giving you 4.5x + 1.5 (hint, turn your fraction into a decimal) Now take that and recreate the equation 4.5x + 1.5 = 15 Now subtract 1.5 from each side to get the x by itself 4.5x = 13.5 Now divide each side by 4.5 to get rid of x’s coefficient X= 3
