x value​

Answer 1

$\dfrac{2ax+3}{ax+3}=-1$

Rewrite -1 as a fraction

$\dfrac{2ax+3}{ax+3}=\dfrac{-1}{1}$

Cross multiply

$2ax+3=-1(ax+3)$

Distribute the -1

$2ax+3=-ax-3$

Add both sides by ax

$3ax+3=-3$

Subtract both sides by 3

$3ax=-6$

Divide both sides by 3a

$x=-\dfrac{6}{3a}$

Simplify

$=-\dfrac{2}{a}$

That's the value of x respect to a. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
