Question

3x/x=-4. what is x?

what does x equal

Answer 1

`x` can't be determinated because the equation is not true.
`(3cancel(x))/cancel(x)=-4`
`3=-4`
Therefore, there is no value for `x`.

Answer 2

No Solution

Explanation:

any number plugged in for x from (`-oo,`-1)`uu`(1,`oo`) will make the equation equal to 3=-4 since the numbers will cancel out

Example:

`f(3)= (3(3))/3 = -4`

`f(3)= (9)/3 = -4`

will simplify to `f(3)= 3 =-4`

`3 = -4`

this shows there is no solution as this will happen with numbers
(`-oo,`-1)`uu`(1,`oo`)

when x=0 the equation will have no solution as well.
