-$-\frac{3}{8} y=\frac{8}{9}$
A) $-\frac{64}{9}$
B) $\frac{64}{27}$
C) $-\frac{27}{64}$
D) $-\frac{64}{27}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $-\frac{3}{8} y = \frac{8}{9}$ for $y$, you multiply both sides by the reciprocal of $-\frac{3}{8}$, which is $-\frac{8}{3}$. This gives $y = \frac{8}{9} \times -\frac{8}{3} = -\frac{64}{27}$.
