The given equation can be solved by adding the fractions. The first fraction is 13/10, the second fraction is 3, and the third fraction is 1/2. To add the fractions, we need to convert the whole number (3) into a fraction. Since 3 is the same as 3/1, we can add it to the first fraction, resulting in 13/10 + 3/1. To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 10. Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 10, we get 30/10. Now we can add the fractions by adding the numerators: 13 + 30 = 43. The denominator remains 10. Therefore, the answer is 43/10, which can be simplified to 3/2.
