The answer is #x=-36#.

Explanation:

You have to isolate #x# to find the answer. To do this you take your equation and multiply both sides of your equation by negative four. #x/-4=9# then becomes #x/-4 times -4=9 times -4#. As a final result you obtain #x=-36#.

#x = -36#

Explanation:

#x/-4 = 9#

To solve for the variable #x# we need to make #x# alone.

To do so, let's multiply both sides by #color(blue)(-4)#:
#x/-4 color(blue)(xx-4) = 9 quadcolor(blue)(xx-4)#

#x/cancel(-4) cancel(color(blue)(xx-4)) = 9 quadcolor(blue)(xx-4)#

So the answer is:
#x = -36#

Hope this helps!
