Question

Gustavo wrote the equation2.4/ =-4 what number makes the equation true the picture it is number six and can yall explain it please

Answer 1

The given expression is,

`(2.4)/(\square)=-4`

Let the unknown number be x, Let us divide each term by -4, we get,

`\begin{gathered} (2.4)/(-4x)=-(4)/(-4) \\ (2.4)/(-4x)=(1)/(1) \end{gathered}`

On cross mutiplying, we get,

`\begin{gathered} (2.4)/(-4x)=(1)/(1) \\ 2.4=-4x \\ x=(2.4)/(-4)=-0.6 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the required number is -0.6.
