Question 195883

{{{-3/4=5/x}}} Start with the given ratio



{{{(-3/4)*x=5}}} Multiply both sides by x



{{{-3*x=5*4}}} Multiply both sides by 4



{{{-3*x=20}}} Multiply



{{{x=20/-3}}} Divide both sides by -3



{{{x=-20/3}}} Reduce.




So our answer is  {{{x=-20/3}}} which is roughly *[Tex \LARGE x \approx -6.67]
