From (3/4)(7x-1)-2x-(1-x)/2=x+3/2
I recommend multiplying everything by the lowest common denominator.
That clears all the fractions in one step. Here the LCD is 4. So if we multiply everything by 4, we get
3(7x-1) - 8x - 2(1-x) = 4x + 6
21x - 3 - 8x - 2 + 2x = 4x + 6
Now collect like terms and get
15x - 5 = 4x + 6
11x = 11
x = 1
