6-4x-2\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)=4x-2\left(\frac{3}{4}-3x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x-\frac{1}{2}.
6-4x+1=4x-2\left(\frac{3}{4}-3x\right)
Multiply -2 times -\frac{1}{2}.
7-4x=4x-2\left(\frac{3}{4}-3x\right)
Add 6 and 1 to get 7.
7-4x=4x-2\times \frac{3}{4}+6x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by \frac{3}{4}-3x.
7-4x=4x+\frac{-2\times 3}{4}+6x
Express -2\times \frac{3}{4} as a single fraction.
7-4x=4x+\frac{-6}{4}+6x
Multiply -2 and 3 to get -6.
7-4x=4x-\frac{3}{2}+6x
Reduce the fraction \frac{-6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
7-4x=10x-\frac{3}{2}
Combine 4x and 6x to get 10x.
7-4x-10x=-\frac{3}{2}
Subtract 10x from both sides.
7-14x=-\frac{3}{2}
Combine -4x and -10x to get -14x.
-14x=-\frac{3}{2}-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
-14x=-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{14}{2}
Convert 7 to fraction \frac{14}{2}.
-14x=\frac{-3-14}{2}
Since -\frac{3}{2} and \frac{14}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-14x=-\frac{17}{2}
Subtract 14 from -3 to get -17.
x=\frac{-\frac{17}{2}}{-14}
Divide both sides by -14.
x=\frac{-17}{2\left(-14\right)}
Express \frac{-\frac{17}{2}}{-14} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{-17}{-28}
Multiply 2 and -14 to get -28.
x=\frac{17}{28}
Fraction \frac{-17}{-28} can be simplified to \frac{17}{28} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
