2+2x+3=\left(2x-3\right)\times 3
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{3}{2},\frac{3}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(2x-3\right)\left(2x+3\right), the least common multiple of 4x^{2}-9,2x-3,2x+3.
5+2x=\left(2x-3\right)\times 3
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
5+2x=6x-9
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-3 by 3.
5+2x-6x=-9
Subtract 6x from both sides.
5-4x=-9
Combine 2x and -6x to get -4x.
-4x=-9-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-4x=-14
Subtract 5 from -9 to get -14.
x=\frac{-14}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{7}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-14}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
