Its algebra. The original equation is \frac{x}{3} -121 = -164

To solve for a variable, we reverse the order of operations, beginning with addition/subtraction, and then multiplication/division. To remove a number from one side, we must do the opposite to the other side. In this case, to get rid of the -121 we must add 121 to the -164. This gives us -43. Then, to get the x by itself, we must multiply the other side by 3. -43*3=129

When we are doing the opposite of an operation to the other side, we are really reversing the operation and, to keep both sides equal, we must do whatever we have done to one side to the other side. So when we have -121, we add 121 as it equals 0, therefore it is gone. Since a equation must be balanced, we have to do what we did to the other side (adding 121).

Step-by-step explanation:

Share 20pounds in the ratio 2:3

Total ratio=2+3=5

2/5×20=8

20-8=12

Sharing 20pounds in that ratio gives 8pounds:12pounds

Share 15cm in the ratio 1:3

Total ratio=1+4=4

¼×15=3.75

15-3.75=11.25

Sharing 15cm in that ratio gives 3.75:11.25
