Answer 1

can someone
tell me how to do the fraction part at least

Answer 2

Okay! So basically, your asking\[\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }(x-2)=4x\]
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }\]
\[9\]
\[\frac{ -2 }{ 9 }\]
\[\frac{ -9 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Okay! So, I'm gonna solve this the easy way :D

Each of the answer options are the possible values of x, agree?

Answer 5

i think so

Answer 6

Okay! So, let's plug in each of the values of x for the x in the equation. Okay?

So, \[\frac{ 2 }{ 5}(\frac{ 2 }{ 9}-2)=4*\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 7

So, we have to make both sides balanced. Both sides of the equal sign must match each other

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

For this one, the left side equals \[-\frac{ 38}{ 45 }\]

The right side equals \[\frac{ 8 }{ 9 }\]

Are those two equal?

But you pretty much got the answer!

You are correct! The answer is -2/9
