15x%2F4+=+9%2F4+%2B+x-3%2F2

15x%2F4+-x=+9%2F4+-3%2F2

15x%2F4+-4x%2F4=+9%2F4+-6%2F4

11x%2F4+=+3%2F4+ ...if denominators same, then numerators are same too

11x+=+3+
x+=+3%2F11+

Hello,
I am trying to solve the following equation for x:
15x/4 = 9/4 + x-3/2
Thanks!
Too ambiguous!!

Is it: 15x%2F4+=+9%2F4+%2B+x+-+3%2F2 or 15x%2F4+=+9%2F4+%2B+%28x+-+3%29%2F2?
