Evaluate x/2-1500=1176

$\frac{x}{2} - 1500 = 1176$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $1500$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{x}{2} = 1176 + 1500$

Add $1176$ and $1500$ .

$\frac{x}{2} = 2676$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$ .

$2 \frac{x}{2} = 2 \cdot 2676$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \frac{x}{2} = 2 \cdot 2676$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 2 \cdot 2676$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $2$ by $2676$ .

$x = 5352$
