Answer

617\frac{6}{17}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Distribute the numbers on both sides of the equation.

    32(2x−4)=4(5x−3)\frac{3}{2}(2x-4) = 4(5x-3) (32×2x)−(32×4)=(4×5x)−(4×3)\left(\frac{3}{2} \times 2x\right) - \left(\frac{3}{2} \times 4\right) = (4 \times 5x) - (4 \times 3) 3x−6=20x−123x - 6 = 20x - 12
  2. Collect all terms with xx on one side and constant terms on the other side.

    Subtract 3x3x from both sides:

    −6=20x−3x−12-6 = 20x - 3x - 12 −6=17x−12-6 = 17x - 12

    Add 12 to both sides:

    −6+12=17x-6 + 12 = 17x 6=17x6 = 17x
  3. Solve for xx.

    Divide both sides by 17:

    x=617x = \frac{6}{17}

    The final answer is 617\frac{6}{17}.
