x=3
x equals 3

x=−7
x equals negative 7

x=7
x equals 7

x=−3

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 37x - 4 = -1 \), we need to isolate \( x \).

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

Now let's check the options you provided:

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

None of these match the solution \( x = \frac{3}{37} \). Please double-check the equation or the options, as it seems there might be an error or oversight.
