Solve -13/3/frac{3{3}}=29/x

$$\frac { - \frac { 13 } { 3 } } { \frac { 3 } { 3 } } = \frac { 29 } { x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{87}{13} = -6\frac{9}{13} \approx -6.692307692$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$x\left(-\frac{13}{3}\right)=29$$

Multiply both sides by -\frac{3}{13}, the reciprocal of -\frac{13}{3}.

$$x=29\left(-\frac{3}{13}\right)$$

Express 29\left(-\frac{3}{13}\right) as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{29\left(-3\right)}{13}$$

Multiply 29 and -3 to get -87.

$$x=\frac{-87}{13}$$

Fraction \frac{-87}{13} can be rewritten as -\frac{87}{13} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{87}{13}$$
