Answer:

The value of x is -33.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The fraction 396\x-10 is equivalent to -22.

This can be written as:


(396)/(x)-10=-22

Add 10 to the both the sides.


(396)/(x)-10+10=-22+10


(396)/(x)=-12

Multiply both the sides by x.


396=-12x

Now divide both the sides by -12.


(396)/(-12)=x


x=-33

Hence, the value of x is -33.
