Question

A number divided by -8 is 7

Answer 1

X is going to be the variable ( a number) so it would be x over -8 =7. I say over -8 because a fraction just means division. So now that we got our problem written out. We cab solve it. So you multiply both sides by -8 so you cab isolate the variable. So 7 times -8 is -56. So X=-56

Answer 2

-8*7=-56

-56/-8=7

The number is -56
