Solve 3/2=x(-5+3)(-5-1)

$$\frac { 3 } { 2 } = x ( - 5 + 3 ) ( - 5 - 1 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add -5 and 3 to get -2.

$$\frac{3}{2}=x\left(-2\right)\left(-5-1\right)$$

Subtract 1 from -5 to get -6.

$$\frac{3}{2}=x\left(-2\right)\left(-6\right)$$

Multiply -2 and -6 to get 12.

$$\frac{3}{2}=x\times 12$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times 12=\frac{3}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$x=\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{12}$$

Express \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{12} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{3}{2\times 12}$$

Multiply 2 and 12 to get 24.

$$x=\frac{3}{24}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x=\frac{1}{8}$$
