If you want to solve for x you have to get x alone on one side of the equals sign. In order to do that you have to get rid of the stuff on the same side by doing the opposite operation so that it cancels. What you do on one side you do on. the other side to keep the equation true.
y= abx
a and b are being multiplied by x so divide by ab to cancel them out (ab/ab is 1).
y= abx/ab (ab cancels)
now divide the other side by ab to keep the equation true.
y/ab= x
Answer:
First find the sum of 3/8 and -5/12
That is
3/8 - 5/12
First find the common denominator
The common denominator is 24
We get
3/8 - 5/12 = 3(3) - 5(2) / 24
= 9 - 10 / 24
= - 1 / 24
Next find the product of 16/27 x(-15)/8
That's
16/27 × -15/8
= -10/9
Next reverse -10/9
Which is -9/10
Next we divide it by = -1 /24
so we get
-1/24 ÷ -9/10
Change the sign to (×) and reverse the second fraction
We get
-1/24 × -10/9
= 5 / 108
Hope this helps
To express a decimal number (with a finite decimal expression) in a fraction, you work like this: the numerator is the number without decimale separator (you simply pretend it's not there), while the denominator will be 
, where n is the number of digits after the decimal separator.
So, in your case, the number without decimal separator is 53, and you have two digits after the decimal separator, so the fraction will be
which is irreducible.
The correct answer is -1.
In order to solve this, we need to split into the positive and negative version of the answers. Let's start with the positive version.
2 - x < 4
-x < 2
x > -2 ----> NOTE: When we divide by -1, we have to change the direction of the sign.
Now we'll do the negative version.
2 - x > -4
-x > -6
x < 6
So we know the number must be greater than -2, but less than 6. The only number on this list that fits that is -1.
D, because after being reflected onto itself or turning 180 degrees, you would be transforming onto itself. I hope this helps!
