-1 = 5/2 x

3 answers

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
-1 = 5/2 x

We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
-1 * 2 = (5/2)x * 2
-2 = 5x

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
-2/5 = 5x/5
-2/5 = x

So the solution to the equation is x = -2/5.
-9=6/5t
To solve for t, we need to isolate t on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
-9 = 6/5t

We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5/6 to eliminate the fraction:
(-9)(5/6) = (6/5t)(5/6)
-45/6 = t

Simplifying the left side of the equation:
-45/6 = t

We can further simplify the fraction on the left side by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
-45/6 = -15/2

So, the solution to the equation is t = -15/2 or t = -7.5.
