You can put this solution on YOUR website! (3/2)X+4X-3([2/3]X+1/3-2)=2(5-1/2+3/2) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 (3/2=1.5),(-3*2/3=-6/3=-2),(-3*1/3=-1),(-3*-2=6),(5-[1/5=.5].5+[3/2=1.5]1.5=6)
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 HOPE THIS HELPS.
 WHAT GRADE ARE YOU IN? DOESN'T THE TEACHER EXPLAIN HOW TO HANDLE ITEMS WITH () AND THE SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS (POWERS, MULTIPLY/DIVIDE THEN ADD/SUBTRACT, LEFT TO RIGHT)??????????
 IF YOU AREN'T TAUGHT THE VERY BASICS YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO LEARN HOW TO DO ALGEBRA.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1.5X+4X-2X-1+6=2(6)
 3.5X+5=12
 3.5X=7
 X=7/3.5
 X=2 PROOF
 PROOF
 1.5*2+4*2-3([2/3]2+1/3-2)=12
 3+8-3*2-2*2+3*1/3-2*-3=12
 3+8-4-1+6=12
 11-5+6=12
 12=12
