(3 1/3)/x=-8
\n" ); document.write( "(10/3)/x=-8 now cross multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "-8x=10/3 cross multiply again.
\n" ); document.write( "-24x=10
\n" ); document.write( "now divide by -24.
\n" ); document.write( "x=10/-24 now reduce by dividing by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "x=-5/12 answer.
\n" ); document.write( "proof
\n" ); document.write( "(10/3)/(-5/12)=-8 now invert 5/12 & multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "(10/3)(-12/5)=-8
\n" ); document.write( "-120/15=-8
\n" ); document.write( "-8=-8\r
