Question

What is the value of x in the equation Negative StartFraction 2 over 9 EndFraction x = two-fifths? Negative 1 and four-fifths Negative StartFraction 5 over 9 EndFraction StartFraction 5 over 9 EndFraction 1 and four-fifths

Answer 1

dude is right.

Explanation:

the answer is -1 and 4/5

Answer 2

Option Negative 1 and four-fifths is correct

That is
`x=-1(1)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given problem is Negative start fraction 2 over 9 end fraction x=two-fifths

Given equation can be written as
`-(2)/(9)x=(2)/(5)`

To find the value of x in the given equation :

`-(2)/(9)x=(2)/(5)`

Mutliply by
`(9)/(2)` on both sides we have

`(2x)/(9)*((9)/(2))=(2)/(5)*((9)/(2))`

`-x=(9)/(5)`

`x=(-9)/(5)`

`x=-1(1)/(5)`

therefore the value of x is
`-1(1)/(5)`

Option Negative 1 and four-fifths is correct

That is
`x=-1(1)/(5)`
