Question

Solve for x 56/x +3 = - 4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We must solve the following equation for x:

`(56)/(x)+3=-4`

We can start by substracting 3 from both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} (56)/(x)+3-3=-4-3 \\ (56)/(x)=-7 \end{gathered}`

Then we can multiply both sides by x:

`\begin{gathered} (56)/(x)\cdot x=-7\cdot x \\ -7x=56 \end{gathered}`

Then we can divide both sides by -7:

`\begin{gathered} -(7x)/(-7)=(56)/(-7) \\ x=-8 \end{gathered}`Answer

Then the answer is -8.
