Question

Solve for x.

3x/-8 =−21/4

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

x = 14

Explanation:

to solve this you have to first move 3/-8 to the other side and divide while keeping x on the same side.

now to divide you must flip over 3/8 and multiply so 21/4 x 8/3 ( negative sign cross off because there are two of them) so 3 and 21 cross off leaving 7 in the numerator 4 and 8 cross of leaving 2 in the numerator and then 7 and 2 get multiplied and you will get 14.

Answer 2

x = 14

Explanation:

3x/-8 = -21/4

(3x/-8)×-8 =( -21/4)×-8

3x = 42

3x/3 = 42/3

x = 14
