2x/3 - x/6 = -3/4
how do i solve this linear equation?

x = - 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- = -

Eliminate the fractions by multiplying by the lowest common multiple of the denominators 3, 6 and 4, that is 12

Multiply each term by 12

12 × - 12 × = - 12 ×

8x - 2x = - 9

6x = - 9 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = - = - = - 1.5
