\text{Solve for }x of (60)/((-x))=4

Solve (60)/((-x))=4

Evaluate

60 \div (- x) = 4

Find the domain

More Steps

60 \div (- x) = 4, x \neq = 0

Divide the terms

More Steps

- \frac{60}{x} = 4

Rewrite the expression

\frac{- 60}{x} = 4

Cross multiply

- 60 = x \times 4

Simplify the equation

- 60 = 4 x

Rewrite the expression

4 (- 15) = 4 x

Evaluate

- 15 = x

Swap the sides of the equation

x = - 15

Check if the solution is in the defined range

x = - 15, x \neq = 0

Solution

x = - 15
