4x-\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)=4x-6\left(x-\frac{x+3}{2}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
4x-x-\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)=4x-6\left(x-\frac{x+3}{2}\right)
To find the opposite of x-\frac{1}{2}, find the opposite of each term.
4x-x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-6\left(x-\frac{x+3}{2}\right)
The opposite of -\frac{1}{2} is \frac{1}{2}.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-6\left(x-\frac{x+3}{2}\right)
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-6\left(x-\left(\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}\right)\right)
Divide each term of x+3 by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-6\left(x-\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}\right)
To find the opposite of \frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}, find the opposite of each term.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-6\left(\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}\right)
Combine x and -\frac{1}{2}x to get \frac{1}{2}x.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-6\times \frac{1}{2}x-6\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by \frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x+\frac{-6}{2}x-6\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)
Multiply -6 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{-6}{2}.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-3x-6\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)
Divide -6 by 2 to get -3.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-3x+\frac{-6\left(-3\right)}{2}
Express -6\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) as a single fraction.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-3x+\frac{18}{2}
Multiply -6 and -3 to get 18.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=4x-3x+9
Divide 18 by 2 to get 9.
3x+\frac{1}{2}=x+9
Combine 4x and -3x to get x.
3x+\frac{1}{2}-x=9
Subtract x from both sides.
2x+\frac{1}{2}=9
Combine 3x and -x to get 2x.
2x=9-\frac{1}{2}
Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides.
2x=\frac{18}{2}-\frac{1}{2}
Convert 9 to fraction \frac{18}{2}.
2x=\frac{18-1}{2}
Since \frac{18}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
2x=\frac{17}{2}
Subtract 1 from 18 to get 17.
x=\frac{\frac{17}{2}}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{17}{2\times 2}
Express \frac{\frac{17}{2}}{2} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{17}{4}
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
