please pick one of the answers above

Answer 2

To solve the equation 52x = -18, we need to isolate the variable x.

We can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 52:

52x/52 = -18/52

This simplifies to:

x = -18/52

This can be further simplified:

x = -9/26

So, the solution to the equation is -9/26.

None of the given options match this solution, so the answer is not provided.
