X - the number

x+\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{8}x=70 \\
\frac{24}{24}x+\frac{8}{24}x+\frac{3}{24}x=70 \\
\frac{35}{24}x=70 \\
x=70 \times \frac{24}{35} \\
x=2 \times 24 \\
x=48

The number is 48.

What’s the answer for this problem I’m very confused and stressed out with this problem
mariarad [96]

Would it help if you wrote it as

\dfrac{x}{-11} = \dfrac{-3}{1} ?

Then you can cross multiply if you know how to do that.

1*x = (-11)(-3)

x = 33 but what happened to the 2 minus signs?

Remember that a ( - )  times a ( - ) = a plus. The two minus signs become a plus.
