  3 − 5/2 x − 3x² = 0

Clear of fractions by multiplying through by 2

     6 - 5x - 6x² = 0

Rearrange in descending powers:

    -6x² - 5x + 6 = 0

Multiply through by -1 to remove initial negative sign:

     6x² + 5x - 6 = 0

Factor left side:

     (3x-2)(2x+3) = 0

 3x-2 = 0  ; 2x+3 = 0

   3x = 2  ;   2x = -3

    x = 2/3;    x = -3/2
