Question

$$\frac{x}{-4}=\frac{3}{4}$$

Solve for x

$x=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $-4$.

$$x=\frac{3}{4}\left(-4\right)$$

Express $\frac{3}{4}\left(-4\right)$ as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{3\left(-4\right)}{4}$$

Multiply $3$ and $-4$ to get $-12$.

$$x=\frac{-12}{4}$$

Divide $-12$ by $4$ to get $-3$.

$$x=-3$$
