Question

4= - 2\3 x answer pls

Answer 1

Given the equation

`4=-(2)/(3)x`

The objective is to solve for x, this means that the x terms must remain alone in one side of the equation. The x term is being multiplied by -2/3, to cancel this multipication you have to divide it by -2/3, and, to keep the equality valid any operation performed in one side of the equation must be performed in the other side of the equation, so you have to divide 4 by -2/3 too:

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