Question

$$2x-3x=\frac{6}{4}$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{3}{2} = -1\frac{1}{2} = -1.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $2x$ and $-3x$ to get $-x$.

$$-x=\frac{6}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{6}{4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$-x=\frac{3}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=-\frac{3}{2}$$
