I need help finding x but mainly on how to do the problem, been a while.

you need to isolate the variable meaning .make x the only thing on one side, you do this by doing the opposite of what is being done to it. 1/2 is being added to it so subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equel sign. Next it is being multiplied by 2/3 so divide by 2/3 on both sides and you have your answer, by doing the opposite of what is being done to x you cancel everything out on that side leaving only x.
