\(x+3\dfrac{1}{2}+x=24\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\left(x+x\right)+3\dfrac{1}{2}=24\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(x.2+\dfrac{7}{2}=\dfrac{97}{4}\)
\(x.2=\dfrac{97}{4}-\dfrac{7}{2}\)
\(x.2=\dfrac{97}{4}-\dfrac{14}{4}\)
\(x.2=\dfrac{83}{4}\)
\(x=\dfrac{83}{4}:2\)
\(x=\dfrac{83}{4}.\dfrac{1}{2}\)
\(x=\dfrac{83}{8}\)
\(x=10\dfrac{3}{8}\)
