Answer:

x = -2

Explanation:

Over means a fraction.

Equal means "="

3/2x + 3 = 0

~Subtract 3 to both sides

3/2x = -3

~Multiply 2/3 to both sides

x = -2

Best of Luck!

QUESTION →
(3)/(2)x + 3 = 0

Start by subtracting 3 from both sides to get
(3)/(2)x = -3.

Now multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/2, which is 2/3.

On the left, we have x, and on the right, -3(2/3) is -2.

So we have x = -2.
