Question

?(1 point) the answer is not 18/20 and I only have one guess left

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 43x = -65 \), you need to isolate \( x \).

You can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 43:

\[ x = \frac{-65}{43} \]

You can leave the answer as a fraction, or calculate it to a decimal:

\[ x \approx -1.5116 \]

So the solution to the equation \( 43x = -65 \) is \( x = \frac{-65}{43} \) or approximately \(-1.5116\).
