Answer

C
4 thirds 3 fourths x is equal to negative 6 times 4 thirds
D
4 3 fourths x is equal to negative 6 times 3

Explanation

To solve (3/4)x = -6 in one step, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3. This gives (4/3)(3/4)x = (-6)(4/3), so x = -8. Choice C shows multiplying both sides by 4/3.
