Solve for x. - 18 = - 2/3 x

X = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Muliply by the reciprocal to get rid of the fraction on the right.

(-3/2) - 18 = (-2/3) (-3/2) x

Simplify by multiplying the fractions. The left makes 54/2 and the right makes x because the reciprocals cancel each other out.

54/2=x

Simplify your fraction by dividing 54 by 2

27=x

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the - 18.

Through cross-multiplication, - 18/1 x - 3/2 simplifies into - 9/1 x - 3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into - 18 - 9 times).

-9 x - 3 = 27; therefore, x = 27
