Question

solve for the variable .
-x/9=5/3

Answer 1

You want to isolate x, so you want to move that 9 over. So you need to undo dividing by 9 and do what to both sides?

Answer 2

uhm not sure

Answer 3

What is the opposite of division?

Answer 4

multiply both sides by 9

Answer 5

good

Answer 6

so

-x/9=5/3

(-x/9)*9=(5/3)*9

-x = (5/3)*(9/1)

-x = (5*9)/(3*1)

-x = 45/3

-x = 15


So because -x = 15, this means x = -15 (just flip the signs of each)
