Let's first simplify the left side of the equation:
1/2(1/3x - 1/4) = 1/6x - 1/8
Now, let's rewrite the given equation with this simplified expression:
1/6x - 1/8 = 2x - 3/2
Next, let's get rid of the fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by 24 (the least common multiple of 6 and 8):
24(1/6x - 1/8) = 24(2x - 3/2)
4x - 3 = 48x - 36
Now, let's simplify further by combining like terms:
4x - 48x = -36 + 3-44x = -33
Finally, divide by -44 to solve for x:
x = -33/-44x = 33/44x = 0.75
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.75.
