Answer: x

Explanation:

When you multiply a fraction with a whole number, remember that whole numbers can also be rewritten as fractions by placing a one in the denominator!

So -3 becomes
(-3)/(1) and you are now able to multiply the two fractions.

  • Multiplying the numerators together (-3 × -x) = 3x
  • Multiplying the denominators together (1 × 3)= 3

You are left with
(3x)/(3), which simplifies to x because the 3's cancel each other out!
