Solve 3/2 (3x)/2 - (5x)/6 =15

Evaluate

\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{3 x}{2} - \frac{5 x}{6} = 15

Multiply the terms

More Steps

\frac{9 x}{4} - \frac{5 x}{6} = 15

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(\frac{9 x}{4} - \frac{5 x}{6}) \times 12 = 15 \times 12

Simplify the equation

More Steps

17 x = 15 \times 12

Simplify the equation

17 x = 180

Divide both sides

\frac{17 x}{17} = \frac{180}{17}

Solution

x = \frac{180}{17}
