Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 3 }}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{ (x)/( - 4) = (3)/(4) }

Do cross multiplication


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x * 4 = 3 * ( - 4)}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{4x = - 12}} ( Multiplying a positive integer and negative integer gives a negative integer )

Divide both sides of the equation by 4


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ (4x)/(4) = ( - 12)/(4) }}

Calculate


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x = - 3}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
