Question Number 86128 by M±th+et£s last updated on 27/Mar/20
⌊2x−(1/2)⌋=⌊∣x∣−(1/2)⌋=2x−2
$$\lfloor\mathrm{2}{x}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\rfloor=\lfloor\mid{x}\mid−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\rfloor=\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{2} \\ $$

god bless you sir. but i think that x=−(3/2)  is a solution too
