Answer 2

1/8x = -5

isolate the x, remember that what you do to one side, you do to the other (because of equal sign)
1/8x(8) = -5(8)

x = -5(8)

x = -40

Note: two positive numbers multiplied or divided = positive answer. One negative and one positive number multiplied or divided = negative answer. Two negative numbers multiplied or divided = positive answer
