The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the equations step by step: ### (i) Solve for x in the equation: \[ -\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{x} \] **Step 1:** Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions: \[ -2 \cdot x = 3 \cdot 14 \] **Step 2:** Simplify the right side: \[ -2x = 42 \] **Step 3:** Divide both sides by -2 to solve for x: \[ x = \frac{42}{-2} = -21 \] ### (ii) Solve for x in the equation: \[ \frac{8}{-3} = \frac{x}{6} \] **Step 1:** Cross-multiply: \[ 8 \cdot 6 = -3 \cdot x \] **Step 2:** Simplify the left side: \[ 48 = -3x \] **Step 3:** Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{48}{-3} = -16 \] ### (iii) Solve for x in the equation: \[ \frac{5}{9} = \frac{x}{-27} \] **Step 1:** Cross-multiply: \[ 5 \cdot (-27) = 9 \cdot x \] **Step 2:** Simplify the left side: \[ -135 = 9x \] **Step 3:** Divide both sides by 9: \[ x = \frac{-135}{9} = -15 \] ### (iv) Solve for x in the equation: \[ \frac{11}{6} = \frac{-55}{x} \] **Step 1:** Cross-multiply: \[ 11x = -55 \cdot 6 \] **Step 2:** Simplify the right side: \[ 11x = -330 \] **Step 3:** Divide both sides by 11: \[ x = \frac{-330}{11} = -30 \] ### (v) Solve for x in the equation: \[ \frac{15}{x} = -3 \] **Step 1:** Cross-multiply: \[ 15 = -3x \] **Step 2:** Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{15}{-3} = -5 \] ### (vi) Solve for x in the equation: \[ \frac{-36}{x} = 2 \] **Step 1:** Cross-multiply: \[ -36 = 2x \] **Step 2:** Divide both sides by 2: \[ x = \frac{-36}{2} = -18 \] ### Summary of Solutions: 1. \( x = -21 \) 2. \( x = -16 \) 3. \( x = -15 \) 4. \( x = -30 \) 5. \( x = -5 \) 6. \( x = -18 \)
