You asked:

Solve the equation 3(2+x)2=5x3\frac{3 \left(2 + x\right)}{2} = \frac{5 - x}{3} for the variable xx.

MathBot Answer:

The solution is: x=811=0.72x = - \frac{8}{11} = -0.\overline{72}


3x2+3=53x311x6=43x=811\begin{aligned}\frac{3 x}{2} + 3 &= \frac{5}{3} - \frac{x}{3}\\\frac{11 x}{6} &= - \frac{4}{3}\\x &= - \frac{8}{11}\end{aligned}
