Question

solve:
(9/x)+2=-4/5

Answer 1

\[\frac{9}{x}+2=-\frac{4}{5}\]
We notice that in the denominator there is x and 5. So we multiply 5x to both the sides
\[5x \times (\frac{9}{x}+2)=-5x \times \frac{4}{5}\]
Can you tell what we'll get now?

Answer 2

this is where im having problems do the x's cancel out?

Answer 3

@sasogeek will you please help here. I'm sorry @Brittanyleann_2 I gotta go now

Answer 4

Yes they cancel out

Answer 5

You get
40+10x = -4x

Answer 6

\[5x \times \frac{9}{x}+ 5x \times 2 = -5x \times \frac{4}{5}\]

Answer 7

40/-14 is what i got but thats incorrect

Answer 8

40?

Answer 9

\[5 \cancel{x} \times \frac{9}{\cancel{x}}+ 5x \times 2 = -\cancel{5}x \times \frac{4}{\cancel{5}}\]

Answer 10

\[40+10x=-4x\]Subtract 10x from both sides \[40=-14x\]\[x= \frac{-40}{14}\]

Answer 11

Now you can simplify the answer
