    x = (-28) / 11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solve for x:

    (55 x) / 24 + 35/6 = 0

    Put each term in (55 x) / 24 + 35/6 over the common denominator 24: (55 x) / 24 + 35/6 = (55 x) / 24 + 140/24:

    (55 x) / 24 + 140/24 = 0

    (55 x) / 24 + 140/24 = (55 x + 140) / 24:

    (55 x + 140) / 24 = 0

    Multiply both sides of (55 x + 140) / 24 = 0 by 24:

    (24 (55 x + 140)) / 24 = 24*0

    (24 (55 x + 140)) / 24 = 24/24 * (55 x + 140) = 55 x + 140:

    55 x + 140 = 24*0

    0*24 = 0:

    55 x + 140 = 0

    Subtract 140 from both sides:

    55 x + (140 - 140) = - 140

    140 - 140 = 0:

    55 x = - 140

    Divide both sides of 55 x = - 140 by 55:

    (55 x) / 55 = (-140) / 55

    55/55 = 1:

    x = (-140) / 55

    The gcd of 140 and 55 is 5, so (-140) / 55 = ( - (5*28)) / (5*11) = 5/5 * (-28) / 11 = (-28) / 11:

    Answer: x = (-28) / 11
