Question

Aquarius is an underwater ocean laboratory located in the Florida keys national marine sanctuary. Solve the equation 31/25x = -62 to find the value of x.

Answer 1

X = 50

Explanation:

31/25 x = 62

25 times 31/25 x = 62 times 25

31x = 1550

31/31 = 1550/31

x = 50

Answer 2

x=-50

Explanation:

31/25x=-62

x=-62/(31/25)

x=(-62/1)(25/31)

x=--1550/31

x=-50
