Question

$\text{Solve for x:}$

$\frac{x}{3}+\frac{7}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

• A. 6
• B. 5
• C. -6
• D. -5

Answer 1

The correct option is C

-6

$\text{Given,}\frac{x}{3}+\frac{7}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

$\text{Transposing}\frac{7}{2}\text{to RHS, we get}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{x}{3}=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{7}{2}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{x}{3}=-\frac{4}{2}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{x}{3}=-2$

Multiplying both sides by 3, we get

$x=-6$
