Answer:

ok, so, it is a bit confusing at first, so ill try to explain it as well as i can

so when you divide the LEFT side by 9, it cancels

when you divide the RIGHT side by nine

which equals -7.33333333333

which when put into fraction form is -22/3

they do this because its easier than writing a long decimal, an you cant simplify the decimal
