Answer:


x=-(11)/(18)

Explanation:


-1(7)/(9)=(-2(5)/(6) + (1)/(3))x

Solve parenthesis first


-2(5)/(6) + 1/3

Find a common denominator.

The common denominator would be 6.

Because the first expression already has a denominator of 6 it stays the same.


(1)/(3) = (2)/(6)


-2(5)/(6) + (2)/(6) = -2(7)/(6) = -1(1)/(6)

Put that into the original equation.


-1(7)/(9)=(-1(1)/(6) )x

Isolate the x. Add
1(1)/(6) to each side.


-1(7)/(9)+ 1(1)/(6)=x

Find a common denominator.

we can use 18 as the common denominator.


-1(7)/(9)+ 1(1)/(6)= -1 (14)/(18) +1(3)/(18)= x

Add.


-(11)/(18) =x

We cannot simplify so our answer stays the same.
