Solve -3/4=3x/5

$$- \frac { 3 } { 4 } = \frac { 3 x } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{5}{4} = -1\frac{1}{4} = -1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 5.

$$-\frac{3}{4}\times 5=3x$$

Express -\frac{3}{4}\times 5 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{-3\times 5}{4}=3x$$

Multiply -3 and 5 to get -15.

$$\frac{-15}{4}=3x$$

Fraction \frac{-15}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{15}{4} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{15}{4}=3x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$3x=-\frac{15}{4}$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{15}{4}}{3}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{15}{4}}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-15}{4\times 3}$$

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$x=\frac{-15}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-15}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x=-\frac{5}{4}$$
