In the equation -1/2 = 3/4x - x12=34xx, x=2x=2.

Explanation:

You can factor out the xx in -1/2 = 3/4x - x12=34xx to equal -1/2 = x(3/4 -1)12=x(341).

After that, -1/2 = -1/4x12=14x after you do the math in the parentheses and you would multiply both sides by 4 to get -2=-x2=x.

This can be rewritten as -x=-2x=2 and you divide by -1 on both sides to get x=2x=2.
