x = 12
So the equation should be x/2 = 3/4 x -3
Step one: multiply everything by 4 to get rid of fractions
4x/2 = 12/4 x - 12 which becomes 2x = 3x -12 and no more fractions.
Now subtract 3x on both sides, you get -x = -12, divide everything by -1 you get x = 12
Now to check: 1/2 of 12 is 6, 3 less than 3/4 of 12, is 3 less than 9 which is 6, so I got the same answer 6 so it checks.
