Answer:

Purple:
\sf{x=28.8}

Blue:
\sf{x=4}

Yellow:
\sf{x=-8}

Green:
\sf{x=-5.2}

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.)
\bold{(x)/(-7.2)=-4}:

- Multiply both sides by −7.2:


  • -7.2 ×
    -7.2= Cancels Out

  • -4 ×
    -7.2=28.8

So your answer is
\bold{x=28.8}.

2.)
\bold{(3)/(2)x=6}:

- Find the reciprocal and multiply by that on each side:

  • The reciprocal is
    (2)/(3),(3*2=6,~2*3=6)

  • (3)/(2) turns into
    (2)/(3)

  • 6 ×
    (2)/(3)=(12)/(3)

- Divide the numerator by the denominator:


  • 12 ÷
    3=4

So your answer is
\bold{x=4}.

3.)
\bold{(x)/(2)=-4}:

- Multiply both sides by 2:


  • (x)/(2) ×
    2=x

  • -4 ×
    2=-8

So your answer is
\bold{x=-8}.

4.)
\bold{-5x=26}:

- Divide both sides by −5:


  • -5x ÷
    -5=x

  • 26 ÷
    -5=-5.2

So your answer is
\bold{x=-5.2}.
