What is the answer for h (x) = -9/8x-5/8

x = (-5) / 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(-9 x) / 8 - 5/8 = 0

(-9 x) / 8 - 5/8 = (-9 x - 5) / 8:

(-9 x - 5) / 8 = 0

Multiply both sides of (-9 x - 5) / 8 = 0 by 8:

(8 (-9 x - 5)) / 8 = 8*0

(8 (-9 x - 5)) / 8 = 8/8 * (-9 x - 5) = - 9 x - 5:

-9 x - 5 = 8*0

0*8 = 0:

-9 x - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

(5 - 5) - 9 x = 5

5 - 5 = 0:

-9 x = 5

Divide both sides of - 9 x = 5 by - 9:

(-9 x) / (-9) = 5 / (-9)

(-9) / (-9) = 1:

x = 5 / (-9)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 5 / (-9) by - 1:

Answer: x = (-5) / 9
