x=−7

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 37x - 4 = -1 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Add 4 to both sides of the equation: \[ 37x - 4 + 4 = -1 + 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 37x = 3 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 37: \[ x = \frac{3}{37} \]

Based on the responses given, none of them match the solution I found. Therefore, the correct solution is \( x = \frac{3}{37} \), which isn't provided in the options.

If you need to find the closest integer approximation, \( \frac{3}{37} \approx 0.081 \), but again, none of the given choices correspond to this result.
