3. We can rewrite the equation in the form of 6X = 13*54 Or 6X = 602. We have to divide both sides of this equation by 6. So X = (602/6) = 117.
4. 4X-9X = -5X. So -5X = -6/5. You have to divide both sides of the equation by -5, so we get X = 6/25.

You start from left to right and you do the order of operations.
You are basically multiplying two fractions by each other. The first one is( (4/7)**2)(5/8) This fraction can be simplified as (16/49)/(5/8) = 16/49*8/5 When you divide two fractions by each other you take the numerator and then multiply it by the reverse of the denominator. 16/49*8/5 is for the first fraction. For the second fraction you have (3/4)/(-8) You first give the denominator of one to -8 So (3/4)*(-1/8) = 3/4*(-1/8)
16/49*8/5*3/4*(-1/8)= -12/245 To get to the result of -12/245 you have to simplify the Expression 16/49*8/5*3/4*(-1/8)
