Question

-
`(4)/(9)`x=
`(2)/(3)`
-4/9x=2/3

Answer 1

The answer to this math problem is 6/-4

Answer 2

x = -
`(6)/(4)`

Explanation:

Method 1:

1. Original Equation: -
`(4)/(9)`x =
`(2)/(3)`

2. Multiply by 9 on both sides: -
`(4 * 9)/(9)`x =
`(2 * 9)/(3)`

Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. You would multiply by 9 on both sides because the LCD of 3 and 9 is 9. You want to make it where you can get rid of the fraction.

3. Simplify: -
`(36)/(9)`x =
`(18)/(3)`

Simplify the numerators of both fractions.

4. Simplify: -4x = 6

Divide both of your fractions to simplify them.

5. Divide: x = -
`(6)/(4)`

Divide by -4 on both sides to get x by itself.
