Answer 2

Answer:

Option Negative 1 and four-fifths is correct

That is $x=-1\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem is Negative start fraction 2 over 9 end fraction x=two-fifths

Given equation  can be written as $-\frac{2}{9}x=\frac{2}{5}$

To find the value of x in the given equation :

$-\frac{2}{9}x=\frac{2}{5}$

Mutliply by $\frac{9}{2}$ on both sides we have

$\frac{2x}{9}\times(\frac{9}{2})=\frac{2}{5}\times(\frac{9}{2})$

$-x=\frac{9}{5}$

$x=\frac{-9}{5}$

$x=-1\frac{1}{5}$

therefore the value of x is $-1\frac{1}{5}$

Option Negative 1 and four-fifths is correct

That is $x=-1\frac{1}{5}$
