$\displaystyle{3}{x}-{1}={0}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ or $\displaystyle{2}{x}+{1}={0}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$

$\displaystyle{3}{x}={1}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ or $\displaystyle{2}{x}=-{1}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$

$\displaystyle{x}=\frac{{1}}{{3}}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$ or $\displaystyle{x}=\frac{{-{1}}}{{2}}\usepackage{cmbright}\Huge\$
