Solve using inverse operations. -3/5x=2/5

Answer 1

To solve for x using inverse operations, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the denominator:
5 * (-3/5x) = 5 * (2/5)
-3x = 2

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:
-3x / -3 = 2 / -3
x = -2/3

The solution is x = -2/3.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response previously. Let's solve the equation again:

To solve the equation -3/5x = 2/5 using inverse operations, we want to isolate x.

Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of -3/5, which is -5/3. This will eliminate the fraction:

(-3/5x) * (-5/3) = (2/5) * (-5/3)

This simplifies to:

x = 2/3

Therefore, the solution to the equation -3/5x = 2/5 using inverse operations is x = 2/3.

Apologies for the confusion caused by the incorrect response earlier.
