Answer:

9/4 or 2¼

Step-by-step explanation:

  • have the number be represented by x
  • 2/3s OF x (of means to mulitply); 3 INCREASED BY (increased by means to add); 1/2 OF x (again, of means to multiply)
  • so we can write the equation like this:
  • 2/3x=3+1/2x
  • now we need to get x by itself
  • multiply both sides of the equation by 2/1 (the reciprocal of 1/2
  • 2/3(2/1)=4/3 ; 1/2(2/1)=1
  • now our equation look like 4/3x=3
  • multiply both sides of the equation by 3/4 (the reciprocal of 4/3)
  • 4/3(3/4)=1 ; 3(3/4)=9/4
  • x = 9/4 or 2¼
