Question

3/4x= -12 What does "x" equal?

Answer 1

Solve for x:
(3 x)/4 = -12

Multiply both sides of (3 x)/4 = -12 by 4/3:
(4×3 x)/(3×4) = -12×4/3

4/3×3/4 = (4×3)/(3×4):
(4×3)/(3×4) x = -12×4/3

4/3 (-12) = (4 (-12))/3:
(4×3 x)/(3×4) = (-12×4)/3

(4×3 x)/(3×4) = (3×4)/(3×4)×x = x:
x = (-12×4)/3

(-12)/3 = (3 (-4))/3 = -4:
x = 4×-4

4 (-4) = -16:
Answer: x = -16
