Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

Well bud, you may have overthought this one a bit too much. It pretty much requires one simple move and then you good. All you gott do is multiply both sides by (-6/5) and that in itself isolates x. This was done because inverses cancel out to 1, and a negative 1 times a negative 1 equals a positive 1. What you get after multiplying both sides by (-6/5) is x=(-10/3)(-6/5) Now all you have to do is multiply and simplify, giving you x=4. You should be gucci now, cuz I got you homie. ;)
