Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

When you have an expression like

x/19 = -21

the key is to get the “x” variable by itself.

In this case the step to do that is to multiply both sides by 19, meaning

x = -21 x 19 = -399

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

x/19 = -21

 

multiply both sides by 19:

 

x = -21 * 19

 

x = -399
