Solve -2/15+x=-2/9

$$- \frac{ 2 }{ 15 } +x= \frac{ -2 }{ 9 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{4}{45}\approx -0.088888889$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Fraction \frac{-2}{9} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{9} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{2}{15}+x=-\frac{2}{9}$$

Add \frac{2}{15} to both sides.

$$x=-\frac{2}{9}+\frac{2}{15}$$

Least common multiple of 9 and 15 is 45. Convert -\frac{2}{9} and \frac{2}{15} to fractions with denominator 45.

$$x=-\frac{10}{45}+\frac{6}{45}$$

Since -\frac{10}{45} and \frac{6}{45} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{-10+6}{45}$$

Add -10 and 6 to get -4.

$$x=-\frac{4}{45}$$
