Answer 2

you need to take x off the denominator. so multiply everything by 6x. Then, you need to also destroy the other denominator, so multiply everything by 10. If you like, do a single multiplication with 60x

Answer 3

I dont understand

Answer 4

grr.. basics. ok. -5/6x=-9/10, 6x(-5/6x)=6x(-9/10), -5=-54x/10, -50=10(-54x/10), -50=-540x, 50=540x, x=5/54
