Solve 5x/3=-3/2

$$\frac { 5 x } { 3 } = - \frac { 3 } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{9}{10}=-0.9$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 3.

$$5x=-\frac{3}{2}\times 3$$

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

$$5x=\frac{-3\times 3}{2}$$

Multiply -3 and 3 to get -9.

$$5x=\frac{-9}{2}$$

Fraction \frac{-9}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{9}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$5x=-\frac{9}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{9}{2}}{5}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{9}{2}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-9}{2\times 5}$$

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

$$x=\frac{-9}{10}$$

Fraction \frac{-9}{10} can be rewritten as -\frac{9}{10} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{9}{10}$$
