Question

3/2x - 15 = -12

solving equations containing fractions

Answer 1

Is it \[\frac{ 3x }{ 2 } - 15 = -12\]

Answer 2

If it is, then here's the procedure:
\[\frac{ 3x }{2 } = -12 + 15\]
\[3x = 3 \times 2\]
You should be able to do it now, aye?

Answer 3

If it's \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2x } - 15 = -12\]
Then, here is the procedure:
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2x } = -12 + 15\]
\[3 = 2x \times 3\]
\[2x = 1\]
And therefore, \[x = \frac{ 1 }{2 }\]
