Question

$$40 / - x = 319$$

$x=-\frac{40}{319}\approx -0.12539185$

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$.

$$-40=319x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$319x=-40$$

Divide both sides by $319$.

$$x=\frac{-40}{319}$$

Fraction $\frac{-40}{319}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{40}{319}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{40}{319}$$
