To simplify the expression \( \frac{4}{5} x - 9 \), we can't do much further without more context—such as values for \(x\) or a specific operation you want to perform (like factoring, solving for \(x\), etc.).
If you want to solve the equation \( \frac{4}{5} x - 9 = 0 \) for \(x\), here's how you can do it:
1. Start with the equation:
\[
\frac{4}{5} x - 9 = 0
\]
2. Add 9 to both sides:
\[
\frac{4}{5} x = 9
\]
3. Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \(\frac{4}{5}\), which is \(\frac{5}{4}\):
\[
x = 9 \cdot \frac{5}{4}
\]
4. Simplify the right side:
\[
x = \frac{45}{4}
\]
So, the solution \(x = \frac{45}{4}\) or \(11.25\) in decimal form.
