Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3 - 2x = -1.5x

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 2x on both sides:                    3 = 0.5xDivide 0.5 on both sides:               6 = xRewrite:                                           x = 6

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)Multiply:                               3 - 12 = -9Subtract:                              -9 = -9

Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
