Solve for x: -2(x-3/5)=3/4

First, let's use distributive property to solve the bracket:

-2 (x-3/5) = 3/4
-2x + 6/5 = 3/4

Now, let's isolate the x value (-2x) by subtracting 6/5 from both sides:
(P.S= Remember to find an LCM (lowest common denominator))

-2x = 3/4 - 6/5
-2x = 15/20 - 24/20
-2x = - 9/20

Now let's solve for x!

-2x = -9/20
-2 -2

x= 9/40

Hope this helps!
