Question

Solve for x: −34x−1=115 .

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -$\frac{64}{45}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-$\frac{3}{4}$x - 1 = $\frac{1}{15}$

add 1 to both sides:

-$\frac{3}{4}$x = $\frac{16}{15}$

multiply both sides by 4:

-3x = $\frac{64}{15}$

divide both sides by -3:

x = -$\frac{64}{45}$

Answer 2

-34x - 1 = 115

-34x = 115 + 1

-34x = 116

x = 116/-34

x = -58/17
