What is the solution to the equation x/-3=4

x = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

whenever you are solving for x and the problem involves fractions, as long as the variable is in the numerator, you can multiply both sides by the denominator of the fraction and it will get rid of the fraction.

x/-3 = 4

This means "negative one third of x" equals 4. So there is only one third of x, when we want x, so multiply both sides by - 3 to get x.

(-3) x/-3 = (-3) 4

-3x/-3 = - 12

x = - 12
