Question

What integer multiplied by 8 equals -96?

Answer 1

-12

Explanation:

Let "integer" = x

When x is multiplied by 8, it equals -96:

8x = -96

Isolate the variable x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 8 from both sides

(8x)/8 = (-96)/8

x = -96/8

x = -12

-12 is your answer
