Question

what number do you need to add/subtract/multiply/divide each side by in order to solve the problem below?
`(5)/(6) = - (2)/(3) x`

Answer 1

The equation is,

`(5)/(6)=-(2)/(3)\cdot x`

The equation can be solved if on right side there is only variable with any number in multiplication. So equation can be solved as,

`\begin{gathered} (5)/(6)\cdot(-3)/(2)=-(2)/(3)x\cdot(-3)/(2) \\ x=-(5)/(4) \end{gathered}`

So to eliminate -2/3
