\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{9}{2}+9-4x=6
Combine x and -\frac{3}{4}x to get \frac{1}{4}x.
\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{9}{2}+\frac{18}{2}-4x=6
Convert 9 to fraction \frac{18}{2}.
\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{9+18}{2}-4x=6
Since \frac{9}{2} and \frac{18}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{27}{2}-4x=6
Add 9 and 18 to get 27.
-\frac{15}{4}x+\frac{27}{2}=6
Combine \frac{1}{4}x and -4x to get -\frac{15}{4}x.
-\frac{15}{4}x=6-\frac{27}{2}
Subtract \frac{27}{2} from both sides.
-\frac{15}{4}x=\frac{12}{2}-\frac{27}{2}
Convert 6 to fraction \frac{12}{2}.
-\frac{15}{4}x=\frac{12-27}{2}
Since \frac{12}{2} and \frac{27}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{15}{4}x=-\frac{15}{2}
Subtract 27 from 12 to get -15.
x=-\frac{15}{2}\left(-\frac{4}{15}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{4}{15}, the reciprocal of -\frac{15}{4}.
x=\frac{-15\left(-4\right)}{2\times 15}
Multiply -\frac{15}{2} times -\frac{4}{15} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{60}{30}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-15\left(-4\right)}{2\times 15}.
x=2
Divide 60 by 30 to get 2.
