Default Hi cinchy algebra question. Can anyone please explain this easy thing to me??
How does 3(x/2) = 2x - 3 become -x/2 = -3 ??????????I know you have to subtract the 2x from each side but I don't understand how the 3(x/2) becomes -x/2. Why isn't it x/2? You're taking 2 away and leaving one positive one.

3(x/2) = 2x - 33x / 2 = 2x - 33x = 4x - 6-x = -6x = 6.Woops I solved it by accident... Ah well maybe attempt two will work... TO BE CONTINUED
