Solve Linear Equation 294865
1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{x - 1}{2} + 3x = 10$$.
2. **Formula and rules:** To solve linear equations, combine like terms and isolate the variable on one side.
3. **Step 1:** Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the denominator:
$$2 \times \left(\frac{x - 1}{2} + 3x\right) = 2 \times 10$$
which simplifies to
$$x - 1 + 6x = 20$$.
4. **Step 2:** Combine like terms:
$$7x - 1 = 20$$.
5. **Step 3:** Add 1 to both sides:
$$7x = 21$$.
6. **Step 4:** Divide both sides by 7:
$$x = 3$$.
**Final answer:** $$x = 3$$.
