Write a conditional that multiplies the value of the variable pay by one-and-a-half

A conditional is an If/Then statement. For instance, if a triangle has three equal sides, then it is equilateral. This is saying if 1.5x equals something, but you don't tell us what that something is, so can't really answer the question. Or are you supposed to make something up, for instance, if you work overtime and x represents your pay, then you will be paid 1.5x for the overtime hours.
