-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{2}x=\frac{3}{2}
Subtract \frac{3}{2}x from both sides.
-2x+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{2}
Combine -\frac{1}{2}x and -\frac{3}{2}x to get -2x.
-2x=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{3}{4}
Subtract \frac{3}{4} from both sides.
-2x=\frac{6}{4}-\frac{3}{4}
Least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4. Convert \frac{3}{2} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 4.
-2x=\frac{6-3}{4}
Since \frac{6}{4} and \frac{3}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-2x=\frac{3}{4}
Subtract 3 from 6 to get 3.
x=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{3}{4\left(-2\right)}
Express \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{-2} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{3}{-8}
Multiply 4 and -2 to get -8.
x=-\frac{3}{8}
Fraction \frac{3}{-8} can be rewritten as -\frac{3}{8} by extracting the negative sign.
