Answer 1

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

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

2. **Divide both sides by 37** to isolate \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{3}{37}
\]

Since the value does not match any of the provided options, it seems there might have been a miscalculation or misunderstanding in interpreting the question. The solution provided above leads to:

\[
x = \frac{3}{37}
\]

If looking for a numerical answer that corresponds with the responses, none of the provided responses are correct based on the equation \( 37x - 4 = -1 \).
