Question

Solve using multplication principal -4x=36

Answer 1

multiply both sides by (-1/4). Can u do it @tthomas0557?

Answer 2

We know that

\(4 \cdot {1 \over 4} = 1 \)

It follows that

\(-4 \cdot {-1 \over 4} = 1 \)

Thus, multiplying both sides by \({-1 \over 4} \) will leave us with \(x\) on one side.

Answer 3

Ok so of 1/4 / -4 I got -1
and 1/4 / 36 I got 9

So where do I go from here?
