Question

Help me plzzzz...... .

Answer 1

x = 4.5 so it is 3/-8 = 4.5/12

Answer 2

x =
`(-36)/(8)` = -4.5

Explanation:

WE are given with an equation and we have to solve it for the value of x

As the given equation is

`(-3)/(8)=(x)/(12)`

For this we have to use the rule of cross multiplication which states that

if we have two fractions such that

`(x)/(y)=(a)/(b)`

then by cross multiplication

b * x = a * y

so similarly for the given equation we have

`(-3)/(8)=(x)/(12)`

By cross multiplication

- 3 * 12 = 8 * x

multiplication gives

-36 = 8 x

Dividing both sides by 8

`(-36)/(8)=(8x)/(8)`

`(-36)/(8)=x`

So this is the answer in fraction in point form it would be

x = -4.5
