Answer:
\textsf{x= 4}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
\textsf{-5/6x = -10/3}

Find:
\textsf{The value of x}

Solution: In order to get the value of x we must multiply both sides by -6/5 to help cancel the coefficient on the left side to leave x by itself.

Multiply both sides by -6/5


  • \textsf{-5/6x * -6/5 = -10/3 * -6/5}

  • \textsf{x = -10/3 * -6/5}

  • \textsf{x = (-10 * -6)/(3 * 5)}

Simplify the expression


  • \textsf{x= 60/15}

  • \textsf{x= 4}

Therefore, the value of the unknown variable x is 4.
