Solve 0.75xdiv(-3div8)=-0.5

$$0.75x \div (-3 \div 8)=-0.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide 0.75x by \frac{-3}{8} by multiplying 0.75x by the reciprocal of \frac{-3}{8}.

$$\frac{0.75x\times 8}{-3}=-0.5$$

Multiply 0.75 and 8 to get 6.

$$\frac{6x}{-3}=-0.5$$

Divide 6x by -3 to get -2x.

$$-2x=-0.5$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-0.5}{-2}$$

Expand \frac{-0.5}{-2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-5}{-20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-5}{-20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -5.

$$x=\frac{1}{4}$$
