    X = 27

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Muliply by the reciprocal to get rid of the fraction on the right.

    (-3/2) - 18 = (-2/3) (-3/2) x

    Simplify by multiplying the fractions. The left makes 54/2 and the right makes x because the reciprocals cancel each other out.

    54/2=x

    Simplify your fraction by dividing 54 by 2

    27=x

    x = 27

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the - 18.

    Through cross-multiplication, - 18/1 x - 3/2 simplifies into - 9/1 x - 3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into - 18 - 9 times).

    -9 x - 3 = 27; therefore, x = 27
