Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, notice that <em>x</em> is being multiplied by a fraction. In this situation, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we must multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of that fraction.
The reciprocal of a fraction is just that fraction flipped so the reciprocal of -2/3 is just -3/2. So here, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we multiply both sides of the equation by -3/2.
On the left, our 3's cancel and our 2's cancel and we have <em>x</em>. On the right our 6 and 2 reduced to 3 and 1 so we have 3 x -3 which is -9
