I think this is the problem you're trying to solve.
%284x-3%29%2F%283-2x%29%2B5%2F2=-19%2F6
%284x-3%29%2F%283-2x%29=-19%2F6-5%2F2
%284x-3%29%2F%283-2x%29=-19%2F6-15%2F6
%284x-3%29%2F%283-2x%29=-17%2F3
First step, get rid of the fractions.
Multiply both sides by the least common denominator, 3(3-2x).
3%283-2x%29%28%284x-3%29%2F%283-2x%29%29=3%283-2x%29%28-17%2F3%29
3%284x-3%29=-17%283-2x%29
12x-9=-51%2B34x
42=22x
x=42%2F22
highlight%28x=21%2F11%29

True statement. Good answer.
