Hi there! The answer is x = -1

Let's solve this equation step by step!
$\frac{3}{4} x + 3 - 2x = - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} x + 5$

First collect terms.
$- 1 \frac{1}{4} x + 3 = \frac{1}{2} x + 4 \frac{3}{4}$

Subtract (1/2)x from both sides.
$- 1\frac{3}{4} x + 3 = 4 \frac{3}{4}$

Subtract 3 from both sides.
$- 1\frac{3}{4} x = 1 \frac{3}{4}$

And finally divide by -1 3/4
$x = \frac{7}{4} \div - \frac{7}{4} = \frac{7}{4} \times - \frac{4}{7} = - \frac{28}{28} = - 1$
