Answer:

x = 15 5/6

Explanation:

-4 1/4x-7 6/8x=-190

get a common denominator 8

-4 1/4*2/2 x - 7 6/8 x = -190

-4 2/8 x - 7 6/8 x = -190

combine like terms

-11 8/8 x = -190

-12x = -190

divide by -12

-12x/-12 = -190/-12

x = 190/12

divide top and bottom by 2

x = 95/6

change to an improper fraction

6 goes into 95 15 times with 5 left over

x = 15 5/6
