4x + 57 = -133
Subtract 57 from both sides.
4x = -190
Divide each side by 4
x = -47.5

Answer: 2 days
Step-by-step explanation:
The monkeys eat 3 ²/₃ buckets of bananas each day. Convert this to an improper fraction:
= 3²/₃ = 11/3 buckets per day
The zookeeper bought 7¹/₃ which is:
= 22/3 buckets
To find out the number of days the bananas will last, divide the buckets bought by the buckets eaten per day:
= 22/3 ÷ 11/3
= 22/3 * 3/11
= 66/33
= 2 days
<em>If dividing fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. </em>
We want "pounds" to disappear, in favor of "ounces."
Thus, multiply 5.5 pounds by (16 oz / 1 pound). "pounds" cancels, leaving you with "88 oz."
4x+7/8=11/6
4x=11/6-7/8=44/24-21/24=23/24
x=23/(24*4)=23/96
-4x-7/8=11/6
-4x=11/6+7/8
-4x=44/24+21/24=65/24
x= - 65/96
