$$\frac { 3 } { 11 } x = - 5 / 11$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{5}{3} = -1\frac{2}{3} \approx -1.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by \frac{11}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{11}.

$$x=-\frac{5}{11}\times \frac{11}{3}$$

Multiply -\frac{5}{11} times \frac{11}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$x=\frac{-5\times 11}{11\times 3}$$

Cancel out 11 in both numerator and denominator.

$$x=\frac{-5}{3}$$

Fraction \frac{-5}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{5}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{5}{3}$$
