Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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

Step 13

Set $2 x - 3$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $2 x - 3$ equal to $0$ .

$2 x - 3 = 0$

Solve $2 x - 3 = 0$ for $x$ .

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 x = 3$

Divide each term in $2 x = 3$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x = 3$ by $2$ .

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

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

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

Step 14

The final solution is all the values that make $3 (3 x + 1) (3 x + 2) (2 x - 3) = 0$ true.

$x = - \frac{1}{3}, - \frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{2}$
