Question

How do you solve `-\frac { 343} { 36} = \frac { 7} { 6} x`?

Answer 1

`x = -49/6 = -8 1/6`

Explanation:

To isolate the term in `x`, you need to get rid of the fraction `7/6`

Multiply both sides by `6/7` and cancel

`-cancel343^49/cancel36^6 xx cancel6/cancel7 = cancel7/cancel6x xx cancel6/cancel7`

`-49/6 = x`

`or x = -8 1/6`
