-0.5x-2=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-0.5x=1+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-0.5x=3
Add 1 and 2 to get 3.
x=\frac{3}{-0.5}
Divide both sides by -0.5.
x=\frac{30}{-5}
Expand \frac{3}{-0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=-6
Divide 30 by -5 to get -6.
