Answer
$$x = \frac{5}{4}$$
Work Step by Step
To solve this equation, you need to isolate $x$.
First, you want to get rid of the fractions by multiplying each term by the least common denominator, which is $4$, in this case:
$$4(x) - 4(\frac{3}{4}) = 4(\frac{1}{2})$$
Divide out common factors to get rid of the fractions:
$$4x - 3 = 2$$
Add $3$ to each side of the equation to isolate the $x$ term:
$$4x = 5$$
Divide each side by $4$ to solve for $x$:
$$x = \frac{5}{4}$$
