Solve and check. x/3 = -10

1 answer

To solve the equation x/3 = -10, we need to isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:

(x/3) * 3 = -10 * 3

This simplifies to:
x = -30

To check our solution, we substitute x = -30 back into the original equation:

(-30)/3 = -10

This simplifies to:
-10 = -10

Since the equation is true, our solution x = -30 is correct.
