Understanding Equations and Solving for Variables

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation where three times a number equals three halves. The unknown number is represented as 'x'. The process involves isolating 'x' by dividing both sides of the equation by three, resulting in 'x' being equal to one-half. The solution is verified by checking that three times one-half equals three halves.

What is the unknown number if three times it equals three halves?

• 1/2

• 3

• 2

• 1

What is the first step to isolate the variable 'x' in the equation 3x = 3/2?

• Add 3 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 3
