Solve for the variable. 3/4x = -24

x = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an equation with a fraction, we multiply by the denominator on both sides of the equation and then solve like a normal algebraic equation.

3/4x = -24 Multiply by 4 on both sides of the equation.

4(3/4)x = -4(24) Distribute.

3x = -96 Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation.

x = -32

Hello!

3/4x = -24

To isolate the "x" variable, divide both sides by 3/4 (multiply by its reciprocal, or 4/3)

3/4x · 4/3 = -24 · 4/3

x = (-24 · 4) / 3

x = -32.
