Question

What’s the answer for this problem I’m very confused and stressed out with this problem

Answer 1

Would it help if you wrote it as

`(x)/(-11) = (-3)/(1)` ?

Then you can cross multiply if you know how to do that.

1*x = (-11)(-3)

x = 33 but what happened to the 2 minus signs?

Remember that a ( - ) times a ( - ) = a plus. The two minus signs become a plus.
