Question

How do i solve 3/-2 x = 24

Answer 1

x = -16

Explanation:

3

(— • x) - -24 = 0

2

-24 -24 • 2

-24 = ——— = ———————

1 2

Answer 2

For this case we must solve the following equation:

`\frac {3} {- 2x} = 24`

Multiplying by 2x on both sides of the equation:

`-3 = 24 * 2x\\-3 = 48x`

Dividing between 48 on both sides of the equation:

`x = - \frac {3} {48}`

We simplify:

`x = - \frac {1} {16}`

Answer:
`x = - \frac {1} {16}`
