    x = - 58/5 or - 11 3/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5/6x + 2/3 = - 9

    Subtract 2/3 from each side

    5/6x + 2/3 - 2/3 = - 9 - 2/3

    5/6x = 9-2/3

    Get a common denominator of 3

    5/6x = - 27/3 - 2/3

    5/6x = - 29/3

    Multiply each side by 6/5 to isolate x

    5/6x * 6/5 = - 29/3 * 6/5

    x = - 29/5 * 6/3

    =-29/5 * 2

    = - 58/5

    Changing to a mixed number

    5 goes into 58 11 time with 3 left over

    x = - 11 3/5
