Question

X / 7 = -8
what is the answer

A:15
B: -15
C: 56
D: -56

Answer 1

x / 7 = -8

D) -56

-56/7 = -8

Answer 2

D. X=-56 (the answer should have a negative sign.)

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate by the x from one side of the equation.

Multiply by 7 from both sides of an equation.

x/7=-8

`\sf(7x)/(7)=7(-8)`

Solve.

7(-8)=-56

`\large\boxed{x=-56}`

Therefore, the correct answer is d. x=-56.
