To find the solution of the equation 4/3x = -6/5, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 4/3, which is 3/4. This step eliminates the fraction and leaves us with:
(3/4)(4/3)x = (3/4)(-6/5)
x = -18/20
However, this fraction can be simplified further. We can divide both the numerator and denominator of -18/20 by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2:
-18/20 = (-18/2) / (20/2) = -9/10
Thus, the solution to the equation is x = -9/10.
