For what value of x, $ 296 \div x=-148 $?

Given:

\( 296 \div x=-148 \)

To do:
We have to find the value of $x$.
Solution: 

\( 296 \div x=-148 \)

We know that,

If $\frac{a}{b}=c$ then $\frac{a}{c}=b$.

Therefore,

\( 296 \div x=-148 \)

$\Rightarrow \frac{296}{-148}=x$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{148\times2}{-148}$

$\Rightarrow x=-2$

The value of $x$ is $-2$.
