Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand correctly the problem is

(2*X)-(3/4)=1/2

to solve for x we need to isolate it, the first step in doing so is getting rid of the 3/4

2*X-3/4+3/4=1/2+3/4

simplify

2*X=1 1/4

the next step is getting rid of the 2

(2*X)/2=(1 1/4)/2

simplify

X=5/8
