Answer:

x = 0.5

Explanation:

Okay, let's start with writing down the equation:

2x - 3 = -2

Now, you can move the - 3 to the other side, and when you change the side, you change the sign, meaning the new sign for that would be positive.

2x = 3 - 2

2x = 1

Now, you have to divide both sides by 2, so you can get the x alone.

x = 0.5
