Answer:
The equation has exactly ONE answer.
A value of x that makes the equation true is -64, which when substituted into the equation and simplified makes the equation turn into 8 = 8.
A value of x that makes the equation false is -8, which when substituted into the equation and simplified makes the equation turn into 1 = 8.
How to solve:
To find what number makes the equation equal to 8, you must first make the negative a positive number. To make a negative number into a positive number, you multiply two negatives to make a positive. So now we know that the answer is negative. Next is what number divided by 8 is 8? To find this we can multiply 8 * 8 to find 64 through back-tracking. So the two components we found are that the answer is negative and the number 64. The answer must be -64 to fit both requirements.
