Solve -2 - 2x/3 = 1 - 2x

Evaluate

- 2 - (2 \times \frac{x}{3}) = 1 - 2 x

Multiply the terms

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

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(- 2 - \frac{2 x}{3}) \times 3 = (1 - 2 x) \times 3

Simplify the equation

More Steps

- 6 - 2 x = (1 - 2 x) \times 3

Simplify the equation

More Steps

- 6 - 2 x = 3 - 6 x

Move the expression to the left side

- 6 - 2 x + 6 x = 3

Move the expression to the right side

- 2 x + 6 x = 3 + 6

Add and subtract

More Steps

4 x = 3 + 6

Add and subtract

4 x = 9

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{9}{4}

Solution

x = \frac{9}{4}

Alternative Form

x = 2.25
