Question 118618
Solve for x:
{{{-(4/3)x = 18/5}}} Multiply both sides by the multiplicative inverse of {{{-(4/3)}}} which is {{{-(3/4)}}}
{{{(-3/4)(-4/3)x = (-3/4)(18/5)}}} Simplify.
{{{x = -54/20}}}
{{{x = -27/10}}}
Check:
{{{(-4/3)x = 18/5}}} Substitue {{{x = -27/10}}}
{{{(-4/3)(-27/10) = 18/5}}} Simplify.
{{{108/30 = 18/5}}} Reduce the fraction on the left side.
{{{18/5 = 18/5}}}
