To solve the equation -1/3 x -1/6 = 2/9, we can start by getting rid of the fractions by multiplying every term in the equation by the least common denominator (LCD) of 3, 6, and 9 which is 18.
(-1/3) * 18x - (1/6) * 18 = (2/9) * 18
Next, simplify each term:
-6x - 3 = 4
Now, add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term:
-6x = 4 + 3
-6x = 7
Lastly, divide both sides by -6 to solve for x:
x = 7 / -6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -7/6.
What is the solution to this equation?
