Question

Which showed how to solve the equation 3/4x=-6 for x in one step

Answer 1

Multiply by the inverse of 3/4 which is 4/3. -6 times 4/3 (or 1 1/3) which is -8 because 1/3 of -6 is -2 and -2 plus -6 is -8.

x=-8

Answer 2

Multiply by 4/3

Explanation:

To solve for x, we need to isolate x.

We can isolate x in one step by multiplying by the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3

3/4x = -6

Multiplying by 4/3

4/3* 3/4 x = -6 * 4/3

x = -8
