1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the following equation for xx:
2x+32=2x32x+x\frac{2x+3}{2} = \frac{2x-3}{2x} + x

2. Solution Steps

First, we multiply both sides of the equation by 2x2x to eliminate the fractions.
2x2x+32=2x(2x32x+x)2x * \frac{2x+3}{2} = 2x * (\frac{2x-3}{2x} + x)
x(2x+3)=(2x3)+2x2x(2x+3) = (2x-3) + 2x^2
2x2+3x=2x3+2x22x^2+3x = 2x-3+2x^2
Subtract 2x22x^2 from both sides:
3x=2x33x = 2x - 3
Subtract 2x2x from both sides:
3x2x=33x - 2x = -3
x=3x = -3
Now, let's check the solution by substituting x=3x = -3 back into the original equation:
2(3)+32=2(3)32(3)+(3)\frac{2(-3)+3}{2} = \frac{2(-3)-3}{2(-3)} + (-3)
6+32=6363\frac{-6+3}{2} = \frac{-6-3}{-6} - 3
32=963\frac{-3}{2} = \frac{-9}{-6} - 3
32=323-\frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} - 3
32=3262-\frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{6}{2}
32=32-\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{3}{2}
The solution is valid.

3. Final Answer

x = -3
