The answer would be the second option B) because we can cross out A) and D) since those are multiplication, and it's not C) because that's commutative property, not associative.
Simplify the first numerator first
-2(x+1)
-2x-2
Then you can set up an equation using cross multiplication
5(-2x-2)= 3x
Simplify and solve
-10x-10=3x
-10=13x
-10/13=x
Final answer: x=-10/13
