Solve. 2/3x = -20. a) -60 b) -30 c) -10 d) 10

Simplify 2/3x to 2x/3

2x/3 = -20

Multiply both sides by 3

2x = -20 × 3

Simplify 20 × 3 to 60

2x = -60

Divide both sides by 2

x = -60/2

Simplify 60/2 to 30

x = -30

B) -30

the answer to you question is -30

Step-by-step explanation:

what you have to do is take the fraction and multiply it by its reciprocal to get it away from the x and if you multiply on one side then you have to multiply on the other side also so you would multiply -20 by 3/2 the you would get the answer of -30

Hope this helps!!!:) can I get the Brainliest?

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
