See the following :)

Explanation:

First, we can minus 1/2 on both sides.

3x+1/2=2x-1/2
3x+1/2 color(red)(-1/2)=2x-1/2color(red)(-1/2) =>[minus 1/2 on both sides]
3x+cancel (1/2)-cancel(1/2)=2x-1

Then, we can minus 2x on both sides.

3xcolor(red)(-2x)=2x-1color(red)(-2x) =>[minus 2x on both sides]

x=cancel(2x)-cancel(2x)-1

x=-1

Here we got the answer for the question. Hope this can help you :)
