Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the steps below. What was Jada's error? Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction (Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction) = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction (Negative StartFraction 9 over 4 EndFraction) x = negative StartFraction 1 over 48 EndFraction

    Jada error was he multiplied the equation by (-9/4) to make the coefficient of x one. He should have multiplied it by 108

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Jada solved the equation

    -4/9 = x/108

    using the steps below:

    -4/9 = x/108

    (-4/9) (-9/4) = (x/108) (-9/4)

    x = - 1/48

    Jada should have multiplied through by 108, instead of (-4/9). That was the error he made.

    Multiplying through by 108 gives

    (-4/9) (108) = (x/108) (108)

    -48 = x

    x = - 48

    The answer should have been

    x = - 48

    and not

    x = - 1/48
