Answer 1

Favorite Answer

5/6x=-2/18

multiply LHS by 3/3

15/18x = -2/18

multiply both sides by 18

15x = -2

divide both sides by 15

x = -2/15

The goal is to use algebraic techniques to get x all by itself on one side of the equal sign and everything else on the other side.

Answer 2

5/6x = - 2/18 is

15/18x = - 2/18

x = - 17/18.

Answer 3

5/6x = -2/18

12x = -90

x = -7 1/2

Answer 4

multiply both sides by the multiplicative inverse of the coefficient of x..x = (6/5) ( - 2 / 18 ) = - 2 / 15

Answer 5

ambiguous

first guess: (5/6)x = –2/18

x = –(2/18)(6/5) = –(2/3)(1/5) = –2/15

second guess

5/(6x) = –2/18

–12x = 90

x = –7.5

Answer 6

5/6=15/18

(15/18)x = -2/18

15x=-2

x=...
