We are given two equations to solve for $x$. The first equation is $3 - \frac{2x - 3}{3} = \frac{5 - x}{2}$. The second equation is $\frac{x + 3}{4} - \frac{x - 4}{2} = \frac{3}{8}$.

1. Problem Description

We are given two equations to solve for xx.
The first equation is 32x33=5x23 - \frac{2x - 3}{3} = \frac{5 - x}{2}.
The second equation is x+34x42=38\frac{x + 3}{4} - \frac{x - 4}{2} = \frac{3}{8}.

2. Solution Steps

Let's solve the first equation: 32x33=5x23 - \frac{2x - 3}{3} = \frac{5 - x}{2}.
Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate fractions:
6(32x33)=6(5x2)6(3 - \frac{2x - 3}{3}) = 6(\frac{5 - x}{2})
182(2x3)=3(5x)18 - 2(2x - 3) = 3(5 - x)
184x+6=153x18 - 4x + 6 = 15 - 3x
244x=153x24 - 4x = 15 - 3x
2415=4x3x24 - 15 = 4x - 3x
9=x9 = x
So x=9x = 9.
Now, let's solve the second equation: x+34x42=38\frac{x + 3}{4} - \frac{x - 4}{2} = \frac{3}{8}.
Multiply both sides by 8 to eliminate fractions:
8(x+34x42)=8(38)8(\frac{x + 3}{4} - \frac{x - 4}{2}) = 8(\frac{3}{8})
2(x+3)4(x4)=32(x + 3) - 4(x - 4) = 3
2x+64x+16=32x + 6 - 4x + 16 = 3
2x+22=3-2x + 22 = 3
2x=322-2x = 3 - 22
2x=19-2x = -19
x=192x = \frac{-19}{-2}
x=192x = \frac{19}{2}

3. Final Answer

The solution to the first equation is x=9x = 9.
The solution to the second equation is x=192x = \frac{19}{2}.
