<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
x = -31.5
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
We are given that the quotient of x and -1.5 is 21
<u>This means that:</u>
To get the value of x, we will multiply both sides of the equation by -1.5
<u>This means that:</u>
x = -31.5
<u>Note that</u> the value of x must be negative because we are dividing by a negative number and the quotient is positive (-ve/-ve is +ve and +ve/-ve is -ve)
