Answer:
x = 8.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/3 (x+1 ½) = -3 1/4
Multiply -1/3 into the parenthesis
-1/3x - 3/6 = -3 1/4 --> -1/3x - 1/2 = -3 1/4
Add (1/2) to the other side
-1/3x - 1/2 = -3 1/4
+ 1/2 + 1/2 ( 2 / 4 )
-1/3x = -2 3/4
Divide -1/3 into -2 3/4
-1 / 3 ÷ - 11 / 4
- 3 / 1 * - 11 / 4 = 33 / 4 = 8.25
