Question

Explain the process to solve the equation 1/4x=-5/8.

Answer 1

`x=-(5)/(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:


`(1)/(4) x=-(5)/(8)`

To find the value of x we have to multiply both sides by 1/4.


`(1)/(4) x=-(5)/(8)`

`(1)/(4) x/(1)/(4) =x`

`(1)/(4) x=-(5)/(8)=-(5)/(8) *(1)/(4) =-(5)/(2)`

`x=-(5)/(2)`

Hope this helps.
