Question 117916: solve

4x/2 - 1 = 6x/2 - 4
First simplify the fractional terms by division:
4x/2 =2x
6x/2 =3x
Rewrite the equation:
2x - 1 = 3x - 4
Combine like terms:
First subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
2x-3x -1 = 3x-3x -4
-x-1= -4
Now add 1 to both sides
-x-1+1 = -4+1
-x=-3
Find x by dividing both sides by -1
-x/-1 = -3/-1
x = 3
