Transcript text: Problem 24:
Solve this equation.
\[
\frac{-x}{24}=-4
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \(\frac{-x}{24} = -4\), we need to isolate \(x\). We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by \(-24\) to eliminate the fraction and solve for \(x\).
Step 1: Isolate \( x \)
Starting with the equation:
\[
\frac{-x}{24} = -4
\]
we multiply both sides by \(-24\) to eliminate the fraction:
\[
-x = -4 \times -24
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Right Side
Calculating the right side:
\[
-x = 96
\]
Step 3: Solve for \( x \)
To find \( x \), we multiply both sides by \(-1\):
\[
x = -96
\]
