Answer:

x = 38/6

Explanation:

x/5 - 2/3 = 3/2

3x - 2x5/3x2 = 3/2

3x-10/6 = 3/2

2(3x-10) = 3x6

6x-20 = 18

6x = 18+20

6x =38

x =38/6 or x = 6.33

⇒(x)/(5) - (2)/(3) = (3)/(2) \\ (x)/(5) = (3)/(2) + (2)/(3) \\ (x)/(5) = (3 * 3)/(2 * 3) + (2 * 2)/(3 * 2) \\ (x)/(3) = (9 + 4)/(6) \\ (x)/(3) = (13)/(6) \\ = (13)/(6) * 3 \\ = (13)/(2)
