Your answer is x=-14. To solve for X, first you want to write out your equation. Next, you want to multiple both sides by two so you can get rid of them fraction. Doing this will cancel out your fraction, and you get: -x -6=8. Next you want to move the constant to the right, by adding 6. Then you get -x=14. X can’t be a negative, so divide -1 by moving the negative sign to the other side. Thus, you get x=-14
It would be a decimal which is 3.363636363636364 and if you convert it into a fraction it is 9090909091/25000000000 so in real terms it is 3 students per computer.
No they are not equivalent to one another because in order to get from 6to 42 you have to multiply by 7 but to get from 11to 88you have to multiply by 8 . In order for to ratio to equivalent they must have the same factors
