Step 1            −      2        3    x  =      5    9   multiply both sides by 3  −  2  x  =      15    9    ;    −  2  x  =      5    3   divide both sides by -2  x  =      5          −      6        =  −      5    6   answer

Step 1  −      2          3      x        =      5    9  multiply both sides by   −      3    2   which is the inverse of   −      2    3  this leaves you with   x  =      5    9    ×  −      3    2  multiply across the top to get the numerator   5  ×  −  3  =  −  15multiply across the bottom to get the denominator   9  ×  2  =  18So, you get the final answer   −      15    18  dived the top and bottom by 3 to reduce and you get   −      5    6
