Answer: d) No solution.

Explanation:

Given the equation:


(3)/(2)=(3x)/(2x)-(6)/(5x)

The denominator of the fractions cannot be zero, then, the Domain is:


x\\eq 0

Simplify:


(3)/(2)=(3)/(2)-(6)/(5x)

Subtract
(3)/(2) from both sides of the equation. Then you get:


(3)/(2)-((3)/(2))=(3)/(2)-(6)/(5x)-((3)/(2))\\\\0=-(6)/(5x)

Multiply both sides of the equation by
5x (
5x \\eq 0), then:


(5x)(0)=(-(6)/(5x))(5x)

Since the multiplication of
5x by zero is zero, you get:


0=-6 (This is FALSE)

Therefore, since there is no value for the variable that makes the equation true, the equation has NO SOLUTION.
