-3/4 will lie on the opposite side of 0.

because all negative numbers lie on the left side of a number line or on the left side of 0

Note: 0 lies in the middle of number line

2/7 will lie on the right side of 0 again becasue all positive numbers lies on the right side of a number line or on the right side of 0

Answer 2

$2x + 5 \div 3x - 6 = 5 \div 6$

$6(2x + 5) = 5(3x - 6) \\ 12x + 30 = 15x - 30 \\ 12x + 30 - 15x + 30 = 0 \\ 5x + 60 = 0 \\ 5x = - 60 \\ x = - 60 \div 5 \\ x = - 12$
