$$\frac{3 \left(x - 3\right)}{2} = \frac{5 \left(x - 4\right)}{2}$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(3/2)*(x-3) = (5/2)*(x-4)

Expand brackets in the left part
3/2x-3 = (5/2)*(x-4)

Expand brackets in the right part
3/2x-3 = 5/2x-4

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{3 x}{2} = \frac{5 x}{2} - \frac{11}{2}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = - \frac{11}{2}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = -11/2 / (-1)

We get the answer: x = 11/2
