Question 206067
{{{-3/x=x/(-3)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-3(-3)=x*x}}} Cross multiply



{{{9=x^2}}} Multiply



{{{x^2=9}}} Rearrange the equation



{{{x=""+-sqrt(9)}}} Take the square root of both sides.



{{{x=sqrt(9)}}} or {{{x=-sqrt(9)}}} Break up the "plus/minus"



{{{x=3}}} or {{{x=-3}}} Take the square root of 9 to get 3



So the solutions are {{{x=3}}} or {{{x=-3}}}
