Solve 3x-9/6 = x-4/2

Evaluate

3 x - \frac{9}{6} = x - \frac{4}{2}

Cancel out the common factor 3

3 x - \frac{3}{2} = x - \frac{4}{2}

Divide the terms

More Steps

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

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

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

Calculate

More Steps

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

Calculate

More Steps

6 x - 3 = 2 x - 4

Move the expression to the left side

6 x - 3 - 2 x = - 4

Move the expression to the right side

6 x - 2 x = - 4 + 3

Add and subtract

More Steps

4 x = - 4 + 3

Add and subtract

4 x = - 1

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{- 1}{4}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 1}{4}

Solution

x = - \frac{1}{4}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.25
