Answer:

x = -
(3)/(11)

Explanation:

Given


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

Multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions

2x - (3 - 2x) = 15x ← distribute and simplify left side

2x - 3 + 2x = 15x

4x - 3 = 15x ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- 3 = 11x ( divide both sides by 11 )

-
(3)/(11) = x
