9x - 6/5 = -12
Convert -12 to -60/5
9x - 6/5 = -60/5
Add 6/5 to both sides
9x - 6/5 + 6/5 = -60/5 + 6/5
9x = -54/5
divide both sides by 9
x = -6/5

[tex]9x-\dfrac{6}{5}=-12\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 5}\\\\45x-6=-60\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\45x=-54\qquad\text{divide both sides by 45}\\\\x=-\dfrac{54:9}{45:9}\\\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{6}{5}}\to\boxed{x=-1\dfrac{1}{5}}[/tex]
