Solve for x.

Question

3/7x−4=−1

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{3}{7}x - 4 = -1 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 4 to both sides: \[ \frac{3}{7}x - 4 + 4 = -1 + 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3}{7}x = 3 \]

2. Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{7} \), which is \( \frac{7}{3} \): \[ x = 3 \cdot \frac{7}{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 7 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{7} \]

Answer 2

neg or pos

Answer 3

The solution \( x = 7 \) is a positive number. If you are looking for a clarification on whether \( x \) is negative or positive, the answer is that \( x \) is positive.
