16 divided by 1/8 - 1
first, you would make 16 into a fraction, making the new equation 16/1 divided by 1/8 -1. you'd then flip 1/8 to 8/1 making the new equation 16 divided by 8 - 1. 16 divided by 8 is 2, and 2 - 1 = 1.
the answer is 1.
Your answer would be x=-10.5
First distribute -2/3 to 3x and -9
-2x+6=15
Then subtract 6 from both sides
-2x=9
Divide both sides by -2
x=-4.5
