Solve 3/2x-1.5-1=0

$$\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } x-1.5-1=0$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} \approx 1.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 1 from -1.5 to get -2.5.

$$\frac{3}{2}x-2.5=0$$

Add 2.5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$\frac{3}{2}x=2.5$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2}.

$$x=2.5\times \frac{2}{3}$$

Convert decimal number 2.5 to fraction \frac{25}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

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

Multiply \frac{5}{2} times \frac{2}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

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

Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.

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