Question 506972
{{{(1/2)x+4/9=(4/9)x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{18((1/cross(2))x+4/cross(9))=18((4/cross(9))x)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{18}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{9x+8=8x}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{9x=8x-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{9x-8x=-8}}} Subtract {{{8x}}} from both sides.



{{{x=-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.

Answer:
