Question

$$3x/2+1=3x-2$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$.

$$3x+2=6x-4$$

Subtract $6x$ from both sides.

$$3x+2-6x=-4$$

Combine $3x$ and $-6x$ to get $-3x$.

$$-3x+2=-4$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$-3x=-4-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $-4$ to get $-6$.

$$-3x=-6$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

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

Divide $-6$ by $-3$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
