$-6 = -\frac{4}{3}x$
answer attempt 1 out of 15
$x = $

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 3

$$-6 \times 3 = -\frac{4}{3}x \times 3$$
$$-18 = -4x$$

Step2: Divide both sides by -4

$$x = \frac{-18}{-4}$$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$$x = \frac{9}{2}$$

Answer:

$x = \frac{9}{2}$ or $x = 4.5$
