I need help to Simplify please Thanks in advance

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/3)² : (1/2)² - 5/9 = (solve the square first)

(2²/3²) : (1²/2²) - 5/9 =

(4/9) : (1/4) - 5/9 = (in algebra we do Divide first)

(4/9) x (4/1) - 5/9 =

16/9 - 5/9 =

(16-5)/9 =

9/9 =

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
