Answered by GPT 3.5
To solve the equation x / -9 = 9 using the Multiplication Property of Equality, we want to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -9 to eliminate the fraction:

(-9) * (x / -9) = (-9) * 9

The -9 on the left side cancels out:

x = -9 * 9

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

x = -81

So the solution to the equation x / -9 = 9 is x = -81.
