Answer: x=288/29

Step-by-step explanation: what i assume this equation to be is 8(-2/3x+6)=-9(3/4-8) if this is the way the equation should be then your explanation is down below, i know how it is when you try to copy n paste a fraction it puts the numerator and denominator in their places but don't add the line so this is the equation i see and this is how you solve it Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8((-2/3)(x)+6)=9(3/4x-8)

(8)((−2/3)(x))+(8)(6)=(9)(3/4x)+(9)(−8)(Distribute)

-16/3x+48=27/4x+2-72

Subtract 27/4x from both sides.

-16/3x+48-27/4x=27/4x-72-27/4x= -145/12x+48-48=-72-48

-145/12x=-120

Multiply both sides by 12/(-145). (

12/-145) * (-145/12x)=(12/-145)*(-120

x=288/29
