8/5(x - 6) = -54
multiply both sides by 5/8, eliminating the 8/5 on the left
x - 6 = -54 * 5/8
x - 6 = -270/8
add 6 to both sides
x = -270/8 + 6
x = -270/8 + 48/8
x = - 222/8 which reduces to -111/4

x(-8/5)-6 = -54 (I hope I'm writing this problem out correctly)
Add 6 to both sides
(-8/5)x = -48
Multiply each side by -5/8
x = 30

I hope this is right!
