Answer :

We have the following expression given:

[tex]-\frac{5}{6}x-\frac{1}{9}x=-102[/tex]

We can start finding the LCM between 6 and 9 and we can do this:

6= 3*2

9= 3*3

So then LCM = 3*2*3= 18

And w can solve the division on this way:

[tex]-\frac{3\cdot5+2\cdot1}{18}x=-\frac{17}{18}x=-102[/tex]

Now we can multiply both sides of the equation by -18 and we got:

17x = -102 *(-18)

17 x= 1836

And dividing both sides by 17 we got:

x = 1836/17= 108

Then the final answer would be x= 108
