Answer: x = -1/4

Explanation:

2x− 4/3 =x− 3/3

Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.

2x− 3/4 =x−1

Subtract x from both sides.

2x− 3/4−x=−1

Combine 2x and −x to get x.

x− 3/4 =−1

Add 3/4 both sides.

x=−1+ 3/4

Convert −1 to fraction − 4/4

x=− 4/4 + 3/4

Since − 4/4 and 3/4

have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

x= -4 +3 /4

Add −4 and 3 to get −1.

x=− 1/4
