Interpret the equation as (-3/2)x + 5/(-4) = -16.
5/(-4) = -5/4, so
(-3/2)x - 5/4 = -16.
Add 5/4 to both sides:
(-3/2)x = -16 + 5/4 = -64/4 + 5/4 = -59/4.
Divide by -3/2 (multiply by -2/3):
x = (-59/4) * (-2/3) = 118/12 = 59/6.
So x = 59/6 (≈ 9.8333).
5/(-4) = -5/4, so
(-3/2)x - 5/4 = -16.
Add 5/4 to both sides:
(-3/2)x = -16 + 5/4 = -64/4 + 5/4 = -59/4.
Divide by -3/2 (multiply by -2/3):
x = (-59/4) * (-2/3) = 118/12 = 59/6.
So x = 59/6 (≈ 9.8333).
