Answer:

c. x = -1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

5/2x - 1/3 = -1/2 [multiply the whole equation by 6 (lowest common denom)

15x - 2 = -3 [add 2 on both sides of equation

15x = -1 [divide both sides by 15 to isolate x]

x = -1/15

Answer is c. Change the denominator of 1/3 and 1/2 to 6 so you have 3/6 for 1/2 and 2/6 for 1/3. then add 2/6 to both sides to get -1/6 then isolate x.
