Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 18, the least common multiple of 9,6.

$$2\times \frac{5-50}{6}=3\times \frac{3}{4}$$

Subtract 50 from 5 to get -45.

$$2\times \frac{-45}{6}=3\times \frac{3}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-45}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$2\left(-\frac{15}{2}\right)=3\times \frac{3}{4}$$

Cancel out 2 and 2.

$$-15=3\times \frac{3}{4}$$

Express 3\times \frac{3}{4} as a single fraction.

$$-15=\frac{3\times 3}{4}$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$-15=\frac{9}{4}$$

Convert -15 to fraction -\frac{60}{4}.

$$-\frac{60}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$$

Compare -\frac{60}{4} and \frac{9}{4}.

$$\text{false}$$
