Answer:

9/20

Explanation:

''1

Simplify 56x\frac{5}{6}x​6​​5​​x to 5x6\frac{5x}{6}​6​​5x​​

−38=−5x6-\frac{3}{8}=-\frac{5x}{6}−​8​​3​​=−​6​​5x​​


2

Multiply both sides by 666

−38×6=−5x-\frac{3}{8}\times 6=-5x−​8​​3​​×6=−5x


3

Simplify 38×6\frac{3}{8}\times 6​8​​3​​×6 to 188\frac{18}{8}​8​​18​​

−188=−5x-\frac{18}{8}=-5x−​8​​18​​=−5x


4

Simplify 188\frac{18}{8}​8​​18​​ to 94\frac{9}{4}​4​​9​​

−94=−5x-\frac{9}{4}=-5x−​4​​9​​=−5x


5

Divide both sides by −5-5−5

−94−5=x\frac{-\frac{9}{4}}{-5}=x​−5​​−​4​​9​​​​=x


6

Two negatives make a positive

945=x\frac{\frac{9}{4}}{5}=x​5​​​4​​9​​​​=x


7

Simplify 945\frac{\frac{9}{4}}{5}​5​​​4​​9​​​​ to 94×5\frac{9}{4\times 5}​4×5​​9​​

94×5=x\frac{9}{4\times 5}=x​4×5​​9​​=x


8

Simplify 4×54\times 54×5 to 202020

920=x\frac{9}{20}=x​20​​9​​=x


9

Switch sides

x=920x=\frac{9}{20}x=​20​​9​​''

this came from a website thats y its quoted

-(3)/(8)=-(5)/(6)x

Multiply
-(6)/(5) on both sides to get "x" by itself


(-(6)/(5))(-(3)/(8))=(-(6)/(5))(-(5)/(6)x)


(18)/(40)=x


(9)/(20)=x
