Answer:

x = -4 2/13

x = -4.15384615385

x = -54/13

(they are all the same, just in different formats)

Explanation:

(5/3x) + 6 = (2/9)x

first, make all "x"s have a common denominator

(5/3) = (15/9)

so

(5/3)x = (15/9)x

(15/9)x + 6 = (2/9)x

solve using inverse operations

(15/9)x + 6 = (2/9)x

-(2/9)x -(2/9)x

(13/9)x + 6 = 0

-6 -6

(13/9)x = -6

to get rid of the fraction, multiply the entire equation by the denominator

(13/9)x = -6

*9 *9

13x = -54

/13 /13

x = -4 2/13

x = -4.15384615385

x = -54/13

(they are all the same, just in different formats)
