To address your original question on solving the equation x/3 = -4, you can follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x. This is done to cancel out the division by 3.
(x/3) * 3 = -4 * 3
2. Simplify the equation:
x = -12
Therefore, the solution to the equation x/3 = -4 is x = -12.
