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. Divide both sides by 37 to isolate \( x \): \[ x = \frac{3}{37} \]

Since the value does not match any of the provided options, it seems there might have been a miscalculation or misunderstanding in interpreting the question. The solution provided above leads to:

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

If looking for a numerical answer that corresponds with the responses, none of the provided responses are correct based on the equation \( 37x - 4 = -1 \).
