Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer you should be getting is
x=4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation :


((-1)/(2))(x)+((-1)/(2))(2)+(3)/(2)x=3
(Distribute)


(-1)/(2)x+-1+(3)/(2)x=3


((-1)/(2)x+(3)/(2)x)+(-1)=3
(Combine the like terms)


x+-1=3


x-1=3

Step 2: Add 1 to both the sides :


x-1+1=3+1


x=4

You got your answer as x = 4
