Question

Which of the following can be used to correctly solve the equation `-\frac{1}{3}x=18`?

Answer 1

x = -54

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

`\sf \: `-(1)/(3)x=18``

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3/(-1).

`\sf( (3)/( - 1) ) * ( ( - 1)/(3) x) = ( (3)/( - 1) ) * (18)`

`\sf \: x = - 54`
