Example 1:

Solve 2x - 3 = 0.

         2x - 3 = 0

             2x = 3

      (1/2)(2x) = (1/2)3

              x = 3/2

Check:  2(3/2) - 3 = 3 - 3 = 0



Example 2:

Solve 1.5t + 6 = 0.

       1.5t + 6 = 0

           1.5t = -6

    (1/1.5)1.5t = (1/1.5)(-6)

	      t = -4

Check:  1.5(-4) + 6 = -6 + 6 = 0
