To solve the equation \( 52x = -18 \), you need to isolate \( x \). You can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 52:
\[ x = \frac{-18}{52} \]
Now, simplify the fraction:
\[ x = \frac{-9}{26} \]
Therefore, the solution to the equation \( 52x = -18 \) is
\[ x = -\frac{9}{26}. \]
Let's go through the solution again step-by-step to ensure accuracy.
Starting with the equation:
\[ 52x = -18 \]
To isolate \( x \), divide both sides by 52:
\[ x = \frac{-18}{52} \]
Next, simplify the fraction. Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 2:
\[ x = \frac{-9}{26} \]
So the correct solution is indeed:
\[ x = -\frac{9}{26} \]
If you believe this is incorrect, please clarify, and we can investigate further!
