Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

to solve for x in the expression 6x/-4=6(-1/2)

6x/-4=6(-1/2)

6x/ -4 = -6/2

6x/-4 = -3

using cross multiplication method to have a straight line

6x = -4 x -3

6x = 12 .......................................... note that - x - = +

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

6x/6 = 12/6

x = 2

therefore the value of x in the expression6x/-4=6(-1/2) is evaluated to be 2
