Can someone please help me with this,
-x/y = 2/9
I do not understand how to solve....
thanks
-x/y = 2/9
multiply by 9y
9y*(-x/y)= 9y*(2/9)
-9x = 2y
can you take it from here?
thank you
Of course! Let's continue solving the equation -9x = 2y.
To find the value of y, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2:
(-9x) / 2 = (2y) / 2
Simplifying the equation, we have:
-9x / 2 = y
Now, we have an expression for y in terms of x:
y = -9x / 2
So, the solution to the equation is y = -9x / 2.
