Answer:

So, I'm assuming the question is (9x)/15 = -23, because if it's not, then no solutions

To solve the equation (9x)/15 = -23, we need to isolate the variable x.

To do this, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 15 to get rid of the fraction:

(15) * (9x)/15 = (15) * (-23)

This simplifies to:

9x = -345

Next, we want to isolate x, so we can divide both sides of the equation by 9:

(9x)/9 = -345/9

This simplifies to:

x = -38.333...

Therefore, the solution to the equation (9x)/15 = -23 is x = -38.333... (repeating decimal).

In this equation, x is equal to -38.333... (repeating decimal), which means that if we substitute this value back into the original equation, the equation will be true.

Rounded though, and it would be -38.3 or -38.33

Hope this helps! Please flag the answer if it is wrong, but also please update the question as I had to base my answer off an assumption...
