See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

First, add color(red)(3) to each side of the equation to isolate the x term while keeping the equation balanced:

0 + color(red)(3) = 1/2x - 3 + color(red)(3)

3 = 1/2x - 0

3 = 1/2x

Now, multiply each side of the equation by color(red)(2) to solve for x while keeping the equation balanced:

color(red)(2) * 3 = color(red)(2) * 1/2x

6 = cancel(color(red)(2)) * 1/color(red)(cancel(color(red)(2)))x

6 = 1x

1x = 6

x = 6
