Question

-5/6x = -9/10

I need help to solve and find what x is

Answer 1

(-6/5) -5/6x = -9/10 (-6/5)

x= -54/-50

x= 54/50 or 1.08

First you multiply both sides by the reciprocal. Then you would solve.

Hope this helps ^^

Answer 2

The idea is you want to get "x" multiplied by 1.  Anything multiplied by 1 is itself.

5 x 1 = 5

3 x 1 = 3

8 x 1 = 8

3902843098 x 1 = 3902843098

etc.

So how do you change -5/6 to 1?  Well...-5/6 is a division problem.  It is saying negative 5 divided by 6.  The opposite of division is multiplication.  So multiply it by the flip of that.

-5/6 x -6/5  = 1

If we do something to one side of the equal sign, we have to do it to the other.

-9/10 x -6/5 = 54/50

x = 54/50

That's 1  4/50,  or   1 2/25
