-5-4x+\frac{3}{2}x=0
Add \frac{3}{2}x to both sides.
-5-\frac{5}{2}x=0
Combine -4x and \frac{3}{2}x to get -\frac{5}{2}x.
-\frac{5}{2}x=5
Add 5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=5\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{2}{5}, the reciprocal of -\frac{5}{2}.
x=-2
Cancel out 5 and 5.
