To find the solution of the equation 52x = -18, you need to isolate x.

You can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 52.

52x/52 = -18/52

Simplifying the equation further:

x = -18/52

This can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

x = -9/26

Therefore, the solution to the equation 52x = -18 is -9/26.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the equation 52x = -18.

To find the solution, we need to isolate x. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 52:

(52x)/52 = -18/52

Simplifying the equation gives us:

x = -18/52

This fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

x = -9/26

Therefore, the solution to the equation 52x = -18 is -9/26.

Apologies for the previous incorrect responses. Let's solve the equation 52x = -18 again:

Dividing both sides of the equation by 52, we get:

x = -18/52

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

x = -9/26

So, the correct solution to the equation 52x = -18 is -9/26.

To find the solution for the equation (5/2)x = -1/8, we need to isolate x.

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/2, which is 2/5:

(2/5)(5/2)x = (2/5)(-1/8)

Simplifying gives us:

x = (-1/4)(-1/8)

Multiplying the fractions results in:

x = 1/32

Therefore, the solution to the equation (5/2)x = -1/8 is 1/32.
is it 1/20

Multiplying the fractions results in:

x = -2/20

Simplifying further by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2, gives us:

x = -1/10

Therefore, the correct solution to the equation (5/2)x = -1/8 is -1/10.

I apologize for the confusion in the previous responses. The correct answer is indeed -1/10, not -1/20. Thank you for catching that.
