Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, notice that x is being multiplied by a fraction. In this situation, in order to get x 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 x 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 x. On the right our 6 and 2 reduced to 3 and 1 so we have 3 x -3 which is -9

Now we have x = -9.

How can found thw length of arectngle

Minchanka [31]

If you have the area of the rectangle, then the equation would be A = W*L

Lets say the area is 15 and the width is 3. You don't know what the length is. Just divide 3 into 15 to get 5. Hope this helps!
