Answer 1

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

1. Add 4 to both sides: \[ 37x - 4 + 4 = -1 + 4 \] \[ 37x = 3 \]

2. Divide both sides by 37: \[ x = \frac{3}{37} \]

This result does not match any of the options provided (−3, 7, 3, −7). Please double-check the equation to ensure it was transcribed correctly. If the equation is accurate, \(x = \frac{3}{37}\) is the solution. If you have a different equation or the equation above is incorrect, please provide the correct one!
