To solve this equation, we will first distribute the 3 on the left side of the equation:
3(5 + x/2) = 4 + 2x15 + 3x/2 = 4 + 2x
Next, we'll get rid of the fraction by multiplying by 2 to both sides of the equation:
2(15 + 3x/2) = 2(4 + 2x)30 + 3x = 8 + 4x
Now, we'll isolate x on one side of the equation:
3x - 4x = 8 - 30-x = -22
Finally, we'll divide by -1 to solve for x:
x = 22
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 22.
