What number must multiply each side of the equation -3/4x = 60 to produce the equivalent equation x = -80

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We're trying to make the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex] 1, so that we can have x is equal to something.

We'll find the required number:

[tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{3}{4}}\\\\=1*(-\frac{4}{3})\\\\=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

We'll check this works: [tex]-\frac{3}{4}*(-\frac{4}{3})=1[/tex].
