For this answer, just make sure to figure out the LCD; or Least Common Denominator and solve for $x$ afterwards.

$-2/3=5/3v-5/9$

Since the Least Common Denominator is $9$ , we can multiply the number into all of the terms to make them into easy-to-handle whole numbers.

$-6=15v-5$
$15v=-1$
$v=-1/15$

$-2/3 = 5/3v - 5/9$ Equation

$-1/9 = 5/3v$ **Add $5/9$ to $-2/3$ **

$v = -1/15$ **Divide both sides by $5/3$ **

I hope that helps.

How do you solve -\frac { 2} { 3} = \frac { 5} { 3} v - \frac { 5} { 9}-\frac { 2} { 3} = \frac { 5} { 3} v - \frac { 5} { 9}?
