2x-3x-1=5\left(-2x+\frac{3}{4}\right)
To find the opposite of 3x+1, find the opposite of each term.
-x-1=5\left(-2x+\frac{3}{4}\right)
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x-1=-10x+5\times \frac{3}{4}
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by -2x+\frac{3}{4}.
-x-1=-10x+\frac{5\times 3}{4}
Express 5\times \frac{3}{4} as a single fraction.
-x-1=-10x+\frac{15}{4}
Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.
-x-1+10x=\frac{15}{4}
Add 10x to both sides.
9x-1=\frac{15}{4}
Combine -x and 10x to get 9x.
9x=\frac{15}{4}+1
Add 1 to both sides.
9x=\frac{15}{4}+\frac{4}{4}
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.
9x=\frac{15+4}{4}
Since \frac{15}{4} and \frac{4}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
9x=\frac{19}{4}
Add 15 and 4 to get 19.
x=\frac{\frac{19}{4}}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=\frac{19}{4\times 9}
Express \frac{\frac{19}{4}}{9} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{19}{36}
Multiply 4 and 9 to get 36.
