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
