Answer:

x = 36

Explanation:

We have the equation (2/9)x + -2 = 6.

First, notice that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting by that number. So:

(2/9)x + -2 = 6

(2/9)x - 2 = 6

Now, we need to isolate the variable. Add 2 to both sides to cancel out the -2 on the left:

(2/9)x -2 + 2 = 6 + 2

(2/9)x = 8

Now multiply both sides by 9/2 to cancel out the 2/9 on the left:

(9/2) * (2/9)x = 8 * (9/2)

x = 72/2 = 36

Thus, x = 36.
