Answer:
x = 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. -5x = -10/9 (original equation)
2. -5x*9 = (-10/9)*9 (multiply both sides by 9)
-45x = -10
3. -45x/-45 = -10/-45 (divide both sides by -45)
x = 10/45 (note that a negative number divided by a negative number is positive)
4. x = 2/9 (divide the numerator and denominator by 5 to simplify)
Therefor x = 2/9
