Answer:

x = (-9)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(-2 x)/9 = 2/5

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides of (-2 x)/9 = 2/5 by -9/2:

(-9 (-2) x)/(2×9) = (-9)/2×2/5

Hint: | Express (-9)/2×(-2)/9 as a single fraction.

(-9)/2×(-2)/9 = (-9 (-2))/(2×9):

(-9 (-2))/(2×9) x = (-9)/2×2/5

Hint: | Express (-9)/2×2/5 as a single fraction.

(-9)/2×2/5 = (-9×2)/(2×5):

(-9 (-2) x)/(2×9) = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | In (-9 (-2) x)/(2×9), divide -9 in the numerator by 9 in the denominator.

(-9)/9 = (9 (-1))/9 = -1:

(-2-1 x)/2 = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | In (-(-2) x)/2, divide -2 in the numerator by 2 in the denominator.

(-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/2 = -1:

--1 x = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | Multiply all instances of -1 in -(-x).

(-1)^2 = 1:

x = (-9×2)/(2×5)

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (-9×2)/(2×5).

(-9×2)/(2×5) = 2/2×(-9)/5 = (-9)/5:

Answer: x = (-9)/5

Answer:

\frac{ - 2}{9} x =  \frac{2}{5}  \\ x =  \frac{2}{5}  \times  \frac{9}{(- 2)}  \\  \boxed{x =  \frac{(-9)}{5}}✓

<h3><u>x=-9/5</u> is the right answer.</h3>
