What number must multiply each side of the equation -3/4x = 60 to produce the equivalent equation x = -80

Answer 1

`-(4)/(3)`

Explanation:

We're trying to make the coefficient of
`x` 1, so that we can have x is equal to something.

We'll find the required number:

`(1)/(-(3)/(4))\\\\=1*(-(4)/(3))\\\\=-(4)/(3)`

We'll check this works:
`-(3)/(4)*(-(4)/(3))=1`.
