Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

To find the x-intercept of a line with a slope of -3/2 and a y-intercept of 3, simply set y to 0 in the equation of the line:

0 = (-3/2)x + 3

Now, solve for x:

(-3/2)x = -3

To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides by -2:

x = (-3) × (-2/3)

x = 2

So, the x-intercept is x = 2.
