Question

Solve the equation for -2/3x= -12 A. -18 B. -8 C. 8 D. 18

Answer 1

D.18 is the answer for that

Answer 2

Answer:

D, 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to separate any value from x, so we must remove (-2/3) from the left side of the equation and place it on the right by dividing by (-2/3).

-2/3(x) = -12

2. We recognize that the negatives cancel each other out, so it cannot be A or B. Also, remember that dividing by a fraction or decimal will always increase the value of your answer. Therefore, the answer must be 18.

x = -12 times -3/2

x = 36/2

x = 18
