Hi there,
We can start off by first rewriting the equation:
3/4x = -6
First, we use the multiplication property of equality to multiply the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3 to -6.
x = -6 × 4/3
Now, we just simplify,
x = -24/3 => x = -8
Therefore, the answer to your query is x = -8. Hope this helps!

Well, since it's already set up, all we do is divide -6 by 3/4 to get our x
So that means x=-8
