The value of x in the expression -2/9=8/(-3x) will be 12.

<h3>What is the equation?</h3>

The definition of an equation in algebra is a mathematical statement that demonstrates the equality of 2 mathematical expressions.

More than one variable may be present inside a linear equation. An equation is said to be linear if the maximum power of the variable is consistently unity.

Given

-2/9 = 8/(-3x)

By cross multiplication

-2 = 8 × 9/(-3x)

-2 = -8 × 3/x

Again cross multiplication

x = 24/2

x = 12

Hence the value of x will be 12.
