Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction x = 48 Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction (Negative StartFraction 8 over 3 EndFraction) x = 48 (Negative StartFraction 8 over 3 EndFraction). x = negative 128 Addition Property of Equality Subtraction Property of Equality Multiplication Property of Equality Division Property of Equality

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiplication property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Multiplication property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the equation

$-\frac{3}{8}x=48$

We have to find the property which was applied to solve the equation.

$-\frac{3}{8}x=48$

Reason: Given

Multiply by -8/3 on both sides

$-\frac{8}{3}\times -\frac{3}{8}x=-\frac{8}{3}\times 48$

By using multiplication property of equality.

$x=\frac{-384}{3}$

After simplification

$x=-128$
