What is x+2 - 3 = 1/2x + 1 solved algebraically

Hey there! I'll try to walk you through the steps!
x + 2 - 3 = 1/2x + 1

First, I would combine the 2 and -3 that are on the left side to get -1. So:
x - 1 = 1/2x + 1

Then I would add 1 to both sides like so:
x = 1/2x + 2

Then I would subtract 1/2x from both sides like so:
1/2x = 2

Finally, I'll find x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2/1 like so:
x = 4

I hope that helps!! Let me know if you have any questions! ^-^
