5=3/4x-2 solve for x and show your work!

-5 =  - 2 equals x = -4.

First, simplify  to . / Your problem should look like: -5 =  - 2.
Second, multiply both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: -20 = 3x -8.
Third, add 8 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -20 + 8 = 3x.
Fourth, simplify -20 + 8 to -12. / Your problem should look like: -12 = 3x.
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like:  = x.
Sixth, simplify  to 4. / Your problem should look like: -4 = x.
Seventh, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x = -4, which is your answer. 

j(0) =-2

Step-by-step explanation:

j(x) = -2 (3/2)^x.

Find j(0).

Let x=0

j(0) = -2 (3/2) ^0

j(0) = -2 *1

j(0) = -2
