- 5/6x - 8 = - 18
- 5/6x - 8 + 8 = - 18+ 8
- 5/6 = - 10
- 6(5/6x) = - 6(10)
- 5x = - 60
- 5x / - 5 = - 60 / - 5
x = - 60 / - 5
x = 12

-5/6 x - 8 = -18 add both sides by 8
-5/6 x - 8 + 8 = -18 +8 equals
-5/6 x = -10 multiply both sides by 6
-5/6 x * 6 = -10 * 6 equals
-5 x = -60 divide both side by 5
-5/5 x = -60/5 equals
-x = -12 times both sides by -1
x = 12

-5/6x-8=-18
-5/6x=-10
x=-10/-5/6
=> x= 12

first you add 8 to each side
(-5/6)x=-10
then you multiply by (-6/5) because you're actually dividing by (-5/6) but you can always multiply by the "flipped" fraction
x=12

-5/6x-8=-18
Multiply all by 6

-5x-48+48=-108+48
5X=-60
-5X/-5=-60/-5
x=12
