Answer 3

Can someone show me how t do the problem step by step?

Answer 4

3/2(x-5)=-6
(3/2)x-(3/2)(5)=-6
3/2x - 15/2 = -6
3/2x = -6 - 15/2
3/2x = -27/2
x = 2/3*-27/2
x=-9

Answer 5

Ok I will if you make me best response. The above Surdawi is incorrect, I assure you. Even Microsoft Calculator says so.

Answer 6

It goes like this.
3/2 = 1.5
1.5x - (1.5 x 5)
1.5x - 7.5 = -6
1.5x= -6 + -7.5
1.5x = 1.5
x = 1

Answer 7

Look, even microsoft calculator says it is 1. And seriously Surdawi I can't believe you got it incorrect, this is basic Year 4 math.

Answer 8

oops
3/2x = -6 + 15/2
3/2x = 3/2
x = 2/3*3/2
x=1

you are right i put - instead of a plus
