| 15 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | = | 3 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) |
| 15 | = | 3 2 | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) |
| 15 | = | 3 2 | x | + | 3 2 | × | 1 2 |
| 15 | = | 3 2 | x | + | 3 4 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | 3 4 | − | 15 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | - | 57 4 |
57 4 | = | 3 2 | x |
3 2 | x | = | 57 4 |
| x | = | 57 4 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | 57 4 | × | 2 3 |
| = | 19 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 19 2 |
| x | = | 9.5 |
