a

Answer 1

Answer: x = 5/2 or 2.5

Explanation:

1/4x = 5/8

To find the value of X;

We multiply both sides by 4

1/4 x × 4 = 5/8 × 4

x = 5/2 or 2.5

Answer 2

Hey there!

1/4x = -5/8

MULTIPLY 4/1 to BOTH SIDES

4/1 * 1/4x = -5/8 * 4/1

CANCEL out: 4/1 * 1/4 because it give you 1

KEEP: -5/8 * 4/1 because it give you the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = -5/8 * 4/1

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = -5/2

Therefore, your answer is: x = -5/2

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
