Answer:

x = -2

Explanation:

3/2 (x-5) - 3/2 = 9x/2

3x/2 - 15/2 - 3/2 = 9x/2 ... alldenominator

are 2 so we can multiply all term by 2

2(3x/2 - 15/2 - 3/2 = 9x/2)

3x - 15 - 3 = 9x ... simplify it

3x - 12 = 9x

-12 = 9x - 3x ... take 3x to the left

-12 = 6x ... simplify

6x/6 = -12/6 ... dividing both side by 6

x = -2 ... simplify and solve x
