Question

Solve for x.
-5/4x = -30
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

X= 37.5

Explanation:

well you have to multiply the 5 to both sides of the equation. that will cancel out the -5 and you end up with -30(5)and you get 150

then you divide 4 by 150

and your answer will be 37.5

Answer 2

The answer is x=24.

Explanation:

This is a one step equation, so it is simple, as shown.

In order to isolate the variable, you need to multiply each side of the equation by the fraction's reciprocal. In this case, it is -4/5.

Thus, x= -30 x -4/5

All things said, the answer is x=24.

I hope this helped!!
