Answer:

D, 18.

Explanation:

1. We need to separate any value from x, so we must remove (-2/3) from the left side of the equation and place it on the right by dividing by (-2/3).

-2/3(x) = -12

2. We recognize that the negatives cancel each other out, so it cannot be A or B. Also, remember that dividing by a fraction or decimal will always increase the value of your answer. Therefore, the answer must be 18.

x = -12 times -3/2

x = 36/2

x = 18
