To solve the equations:
1) -3/8x = 0.375First, we can multiply both sides by -8 to get rid of the fraction:x = 0.375 * (-8)x = -3
2) x (-3 5/17) = 28Convert -3 5/17 to an improper fraction:-3 5/17 = -(3 17 + 5)/17 = -56/17
Now, we can plug in -56/17 for x in the equation and solve for x:x (-56/17) = 28x = 28 / (-56/17)x = 28 (-17/56)x = -8.5
3) 3.2x = -1 1/15Convert -1 1/15 to an improper fraction:-1 1/15 = -(1 * 15 + 1)/15 = -16/15
Now, we can solve for x in the equation:x = (-16/15) / 3.2x = -16/15 * (1/3.2)x ≈ -1.6667
Therefore, the solutions to the equations are x = -3, x = -8.5, and x ≈ -1.6667.
