Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

solving for x in this equation, you would only need to divide the -5 on both sides.

-5x=30

divide both the x and 30 by -5:

x=-6

(make sure when dividing a negative by a positive the positive number ends up negative as well) :)

18/34 as a reduced fraction

olya-2409 [2.1K]

I like to reduce everything by half if I don't already know the answer.

$\frac{18}{34} = \frac{9}{17}$

It just so happens that is the reduced fraction.

All I did was halve 18, which is 9, and halve 34, which is 17.
