In order to find this answer we have to manipulate the equation algebraically so that we end up with a statement that x = something. We can manipulate the problem however we need to as long as we do the same thing to both sides of the equation (this keeps the equation true).

-8x/5 + 1/6 = -5x/3

first lets get the x's on one side of the equals sign by adding 8x/5 to each side.

1/6 = -5x/3 + 8x/5

Ok, now let's add the x's together (we need common denominators)

1/6 = -25x/15 + 24x/15
1/6 = -x/15

Now lets get x by itself by multiplying each side by 15

1/6 * 15 = -x
15/6 = -x
3/2 = -x

Multiply each side by -1 to make the x positive.

-3/2 = x

-1x-9y=13<br> -1x+7y=-19
Olegator [25]
-1x=13+9y
(13+9y)+7y=-19
13+16y=-19
16y=-6
•Y=6/16
-1x-(9•6/16)=13
-1x-3.375=13
-1x=16.375
•X=-16.375
