Indicate whether the value of $x$ shown is a solution to the given equation.
-$\frac{x}{4}=\frac{5}{9}, x=\frac{20}{9}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To verify if $x=\frac{20}{9}$ is a solution, substitute $x$ into the equation: $\frac{x}{4}=\frac{5}{9}$. Substituting $x=\frac{20}{9}$ gives $\frac{20}{9} \div 4 = \frac{5}{9}$, which simplifies to $\frac{20}{9} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{9}$, and further to $\frac{20}{36} = \frac{5}{9}$. Since $\frac{20}{36}$ simplifies to $\frac{5}{9}$, the statement is true.
