\frac{3x-\left(x-2\right)}{4}=x
Since \frac{3x}{4} and \frac{x-2}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{3x-x+2}{4}=x
Do the multiplications in 3x-\left(x-2\right).
\frac{2x+2}{4}=x
Combine like terms in 3x-x+2.
\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}=x
Divide each term of 2x+2 by 4 to get \frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}.
\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}=0
Combine \frac{1}{2}x and -x to get -\frac{1}{2}x.
-\frac{1}{2}x=-\frac{1}{2}
Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-\frac{1}{2}\left(-2\right)
Multiply both sides by -2, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{2}.
x=\frac{-\left(-2\right)}{2}
Express -\frac{1}{2}\left(-2\right) as a single fraction.
x=\frac{2}{2}
Multiply -1 and -2 to get 2.
x=1
Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.
