Question 268491
{{{-1/2}}}x={{{-7/8}}} whats x.
:
multiply both sides by 8, this gets rid of the denominators and results in:
4(-1)x = -7
-4x = -7
:
The variable (x) has to be positive, multiply both sides by -1
4x = 7
:
Divide both sides by 4
x = {{{7/4}}}
;
:
Check solution in original equation
{{{-1/2}}}*{{{7/4}}}={{{-7/8}}}
{{{-7/8}}}={{{-7/8}}}confirms your solution of x = {{{7/8}}}
