Answer:
x = -7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual recommendation is to clear fractions first. Here, you can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6.
6(-1/2(3x -4) +3x) = 6(5/6)
-9x +12 +18x = 5 . . . . . . . . . simplify
9x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = -7/9 . . . . . .divide by 9

Another way to do this is to eliminate parentheses first.
-3/2x +2 +3x = 5/6
3/2x = -7/6 . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 2
x = (-7/6)(2/3) = -7/9 . . . . multiply by 2/3
