Solve 3-2x=75(x+2)

$$3 - 2 x = 75 ( x + 2 )$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{21}{11} = -1\frac{10}{11} \approx -1.909090909$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 75 by x+2.

$$3-2x=75x+150$$

Subtract 75x from both sides.

$$3-2x-75x=150$$

Combine -2x and -75x to get -77x.

$$3-77x=150$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$-77x=150-3$$

Subtract 3 from 150 to get 147.

$$-77x=147$$

Divide both sides by -77.

$$x=\frac{147}{-77}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{147}{-77} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 7.

$$x=-\frac{21}{11}$$
