Question

find X such that minus 3 by 8 = x by -24​

Answer 1

Explanation:

-3/8=x/-24

-3×-24/8=x

x=9......

Answer 2

$\frac{-3}{8} = \frac{x}{ - 24}$

cross multiplication

$-3 \times - 24 = x \times 8 \\ \\ \frac{-3 \times - 24}{8} = x \\ \\ -3 \times - 3 = x \\ \\ 9 = x$

x = 9 is the answer
