$$3\cdot\dfrac{x-1}{2}=\dfrac{3x-3}{2}$$
Explanation
| $$ \begin{aligned}3 \cdot \frac{x-1}{2}& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}}\frac{3x-3}{2}\end{aligned} $$ | |
| ① | Multiply $3$ by $ \dfrac{x-1}{2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 3x-3 }{ 2 } $. Step 1: Write $ 3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 3 \cdot \frac{x-1}{2} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{3}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x-1}{2} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 3 \cdot \left( x-1 \right) }{ 1 \cdot 2 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 3x-3 }{ 2 } \end{aligned} $$ |
