To simplify the expression \(-\frac{1}{2}(-6x + 3)\), we can distribute \(-\frac{1}{2}\) to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ -\frac{1}{2}(-6x) + -\frac{1}{2}(3) \]

Calculating each part:

  1. \(-\frac{1}{2}(-6x) = 3x\)
  2. \(-\frac{1}{2}(3) = -\frac{3}{2}\)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ 3x - \frac{3}{2} \]

So the simplified expression is:

\[ 3x - \frac{3}{2} \]

Since \(-\frac{3}{2}\) can be written as \(-32\) based on your options, the correct final answer is:

3x − 32
