Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

Ok, this is a two step equation, so the first step you will do is get the regular numbers (-4 and -3) on one side of the equation, like this:

3/2x-4=1/2x-3

+4 +4

3/2x=1/2x+1

Next, you need to get the variables on one side of the equation, so you will minus 1/2x like this.

3/2x=1/2x+1

-1/2x -1/2x

2/2x=1

Simplify

x=1
