-5/6x=-7/8
If I am reading your problem right, which is -5/6x=-7/8
(5/6)=-7/8
(5(1/6))x=-7/8
(5/2.3)x=-7/8
5x/2.3=-7/8
4.5x=3.7
20x=-21
20x/20=-21/20
x=-21/20
yea its supposed to be where the line - is between the numbers one on top and one on bottom so is it the same answer that way
To solve the equation -5/6x = -7/8, we need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x, which is -6/5. This will cancel out the coefficient on the left side and simplify the equation.
(-6/5) * (-5/6x) = (-6/5) * (-7/8)
x = (-6/5) * (-7/8)
Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x = 42/40
Step 3: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form.
x = 21/20
Therefore, the solution to the equation -5/6x = -7/8 is x = 21/20.
