Question

Solve X/3 + 5/2 = -3/2 pls pls ​

Answer 1

x = -12

Explanation:

To solve for x, we always want to isolate x {isolate = getting it by itself}

So, for the equation: X/3 + 5/2 = -3/2

we should first get x on its own side:

`(x)/(3)+(5)/(2)=-(3)/(2)`

`-(5)/(2)`
`-(5)/(2)` {subtract 5/2 from both sides} {-3/2 - 5/2 = -8/2}

`(x)/(3) = -4`

×3 ×3 {multiply both sides by 3 to find "1"x}

x = -12

check:

-12/3 + 5/2 = -3/2

-4 + 5/2 = -3/2

(5/2 = 2
`(1)/(2)` ; 2
`(1)/(2)` - 4 = -1
`(1)/(2)`)

-1
`(1)/(2)` = -3/2 {3/2 = 1
`(1)/(2)`}

-1
`(1)/(2)` = -1
`(1)/(2)`

{TRUE}

so, x = -12

hope this helps!!

Answer 2

X=-12

Explanation:

Subtract -5/2 on both sides:

X/3+5/2-5/2=-3/2-5/2

X/3=-8/2

X/3=-4

Multiply both sides by 3:

X/3*3=-4*3

X=-12
