Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
3 - 2x = -1.5x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 2x on both sides: 3 = 0.5x
- Divide 0.5 on both sides: 6 = x
- Rewrite: x = 6
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in<em> x</em>: 3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
- Multiply: 3 - 12 = -9
- Subtract: -9 = -9
Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.
∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
