Question

$$x/3+5/2=-3/2$$

Solve for x

$x=-12$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $6$, the least common multiple of $3,2$.

$$2x+15=3\left(-3\right)$$

Multiply $3$ and $-3$ to get $-9$.

$$2x+15=-9$$

Subtract $15$ from both sides.

$$2x=-9-15$$

Subtract $15$ from $-9$ to get $-24$.

$$2x=-24$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{-24}{2}$$

Divide $-24$ by $2$ to get $-12$.

$$x=-12$$
