Question

Solve for x. 40= x/(-4/7)

Answer 1

$\dfrac{x}{-\frac{4}{7}}=40\\\\x\cdot\left(-\dfrac{7}{4}\right)=40\\\\-\dfrac{7}{4}x=40\ \ \ \ |\cdot(-4)\\\\7x=-160\ \ \ |:7\\\\x=-\dfrac{160}{7}\\\\x=-22\dfrac{6}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is $-22\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we need  to solve value for x of the expression:

$40=\frac{x}{\frac{-4}{7}}$

Multiply both the sides by $\frac{-4}{7}$

$\frac{-4}{7}\times40=\frac{-4}{7}\times \frac{x}{\frac{-4}{7}}$

Simplify,

$\frac{-160}{7}=x$

$x=-22\frac{6}{7}$

Hence, the value of x is $-22\frac{6}{7}$
