Question

Solve X/3 + 5/2 = -3/2 pls pls ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we always want to isolate x {isolate = getting it by itself}

So, for the equation: X/3 + 5/2 = -3/2

we should first get x on its own side:

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{5}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}$

   $-\frac{5}{2}$     $-\frac{5}{2}$      {subtract 5/2 from both sides} {-3/2 - 5/2 = -8/2}

$\frac{x}{3} = -4$

×3     ×3            {multiply both sides by 3 to find "1"x}

x = -12

check:

-12/3 + 5/2 = -3/2

-4 + 5/2  = -3/2

(5/2 = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$  ;   2 $\frac{1}{2}$ - 4 = -1 $\frac{1}{2}$)

-1 $\frac{1}{2}$ = -3/2      {3/2 = 1 $\frac{1}{2}$}

-1 $\frac{1}{2}$ = -1 $\frac{1}{2}$

{TRUE}

so, x = -12

hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Answer:

X=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract -5/2 on both sides:

X/3+5/2-5/2=-3/2-5/2

X/3=-8/2

X/3=-4

Multiply both sides by 3:

X/3*3=-4*3

X=-12
