Solution

$L e t x b e m u l t i p l i e d, t h e n x \times {(\frac{1}{2})}^{- 1} = {(\frac{- 4}{7})}^{- 1} x = {(\frac{- 4}{7})}^{- 1} \div {(\frac{1}{2})}^{- 1} = {(\frac{7}{- 4})}^{1} \div {(\frac{2}{1})}^{1} = \frac{7}{- 4} \div 2 = \frac{7}{- 4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{- 8} = \frac{- 7}{8} ∴ R e q u i r e d n u m b e r = \frac{- 7}{8}$
