when n is multiplied by -5/8 and the product is equal to -4, it's really saying

-5/8n = -4

To solve an equation like this we can use properties of equality

For this problem there is only one step, being dividing both sides by -5/8

-4 divided by -5/8 = 32/5

Answer: 32/5 or 6 2/5

I hope this helps!
