Question

Tell me if I did this right

Yes your right. (cali love). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_0PtwJxzA

Answer 2

are you sure?

Answer 3

DEFINITELY SURE!

Answer 4

Is this the problem?
\[\frac{-5}{6x}=\frac{-7}{8}\]

If so, cross multiply
\[-5\cdot8= -7\cdot6x\]
this simplifies to -40= -42x
divide both sides by -42 to solve for x.

of the problem is \[\frac{-5}{6}x= \frac{-7}{8}\]
you get x= 42/40 or 21/20 (this almost matches your answer, but not quite)
