Answer 1

396/x - 10 = -22 396/x = -22 + 10 396/x = -12 X = -396/12 X = -33

Answer 2

The value of x is -33.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The fraction 396\x-10 is equivalent to -22.

This can be written as:

`(396)/(x)-10=-22`

Add 10 to the both the sides.

`(396)/(x)-10+10=-22+10`

`(396)/(x)=-12`

Multiply both the sides by x.

`396=-12x`

Now divide both the sides by -12.

`(396)/(-12)=x`

`x=-33`

Hence, the value of x is -33.
