Combine fractions: Combine the fractions on the right side of the equation.Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them into a single fraction.(2x1)+(2x2x−3)=(2x1+2x−3)
Simplify numerator: Simplify the numerator of the combined fraction. 1+2x−3=2x−2Now the equation is 3=2x2x−2
Multiply by 2x: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x to eliminate the fraction.3×2x=(2x−2)6x=2x−2
Subtract 2x: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable on one side.6x−2x=2x−2−2x4x=−2
Divide by 4: Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x.4x/4=−2/4x=−1/2
