turns into

$\frac{3}{1} \times \frac{5}{11} = \frac{15}{11} = 1 \frac{4}{11}$

$12 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{12}{1} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{36}{4} = 9$

What is three over two x plus three equal to zero

nataly862011 [7]

QUESTION → $\frac{3}{2}x + 3 = 0$

Start by subtracting 3 from both sides to get $\frac{3}{2}x = -3$ .

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.
