x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1 ) - 4

use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses. on -2 and -1 they cancel each other out so it becomes + 2. now you have:

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4 (+2 and -4 are like terms so they become -2. so technically its 3x + 3 = -2x -2)

get +3 on the other side by subtracting it from itself and then subtracting it from -2 so it becomes -5.

3x = -2x - 5

get -2x on the other side by adding 2x to itself then adding 2x to 3x so it becomes 5x

5x = -5

divide 5 from -5 and you get x = -1

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
