Solve: -8x = 64
x = 512
x = 8
x = (-8)
x = -56
Please help me solve this. Thank you!
Okay, I think it is.. x + -56
-8x = 64
x = 64 / -8
x = ?
Remember that when multiplying or dividing, two negatives = a positive. A negative and a positive = a negative.
Okay then is it x = (-8)
Yes.
OKay thank you, Ms. Sue.
You're welcome Silverstream.
To solve the equation -8x = 64, we need to isolate the variable x. Here's the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Begin with the given equation: -8x = 64
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by -8. This step will help us isolate x. Since we are dividing by a negative number, we need to remember that the inequality will flip:
-8x / -8 = 64 / -8
Simplifying this gives us:
x = -8
Therefore, the correct solution to the equation -8x = 64 is x = -8.
