solve for x.
\\(-\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{x}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Cross - multiply the equation

To solve the equation \(-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{x}\), we can use cross - multiplication. Cross - multiplying gives us \(-3\times x = 4\times9\).
\[ - 3x=36\]

Step2: Solve for x

To isolate \(x\), we divide both sides of the equation by \(-3\).
\[x=\frac{36}{-3}\]
\[x = - 12\]

Answer:

\(x=-12\)
