Question

If the fraction 396/x-10 is equivalent to -22, find the value of x.

Answer 1

Answer: x = -8

Explanation:

1. Miltiply x-10 on both sides: 396 = -22(x - 10)

2. Distribute -22 to (x - 10): 396 = -22x + 220

3. Subtract 220 from 396: 176 = -22x

4. Divide both sides by -22 to get x by itself: x = -8
