Answer:

x = -1/9

Explanation:


(18)/(x) = -2 multiply by 1/18 to cancel out


x = -2((1)/(18) )\\x = -(2)/(18) \\x = -(1)/(9)

Hey there!

18/x = -2

Multiply both sides by x

-2x = 18

Divide both of your sides by -2

-2x/-2 = 18/-2

Cancel out: -2x/-2 because it gives you 1

Keep: 18/-2 because it helps us solve for our answer

x = 18/-2

18/-2 = 18 divided by -2 ➡️ -9

Thus your answer is: x = -9 ✅

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
