Question
$$\frac{1}{2}+3 = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2}+3 &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 2 }. \\[1 em]2\cdot\frac{1}{2}+2\cdot3 &= 2\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]1+6 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]7 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 7 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
