Solve for x . 37x−4=−1 (1 point) Responses x=−3 x equals negative 3 x=7 x equals 7 x=3 x equals 3 x=−7 x equals negative 7

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

The solution produced, \( x = \frac{3}{37} \), is not among the provided options. However, if considering only the choices given, none are correct based on the calculations performed.

If you wanted to verify those provided options:

• \( x = -3 \)
• \( x = 7 \)
• \( x = 3 \)
• \( x = -7 \)

None of these satisfy the original equation \( 37x - 4 = -1 \). Therefore, the correct answer is \( x = \frac{3}{37} \), but it's not listed among your options.
