what number should be on both sides of the equation -7x = 14 be divided by to solve for the value of x

37 answers

The number should be -7.
what number should be on both sides of the equation x/-5 = -6 be divided by to solve for the value of x
The number should be -1/5.
no
I apologize for the confusion. The equation should be multiplied by -5 on both sides to solve for x.
if 2x = -4, then what is the value of 8x
First, solve 2x = -4 to find x. x = -4 / 2 = -2.

Then substitute x = -2 into 8x to find 8x = 8 * -2 = -16.

So, the value of 8x is -16.
what is the solution of the equation -8x = -0.56
To solve for x in the equation -8x = -0.56, you would divide both sides of the equation by -8.

So, x = -0.56 / -8 = 0.07.
4/3x = -6/5
To solve for x in the equation 4/3x = -6/5, you would multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 4/3 (which is 3/4).
So, x = 3/4 * -6/5
x = -9/10
what number should be on both sides of the equation x/12 = 6 to solve for the value of x
Both sides of the equation should be multiplied by 12 to solve for the value of x.
what is the solution of the equation 5/2x = -1/8
To solve for x in the equation 5/2x = -1/8, you would multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/2 (which is 2/5).

So, x = 2/5 * -1/8

x = -1/20
what is the solution of the equation -x/2.9 = -3
To solve for x in the equation -x/2.9 = -3, you would multiply both sides of the equation by -2.9.

So, x = -2.9 * -3

x = 8.7
what is the solution of the equation 8/5x = -10
To solve for x in the equation 8/5x = -10, you would multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/5 (which is 5/8).

So, x = 5/8 * -10

x = -6.25
wrong
I apologize for that. You're correct. You should actually divide both sides by 8/5 or multiply by its reciprocal 5/8.

So, x = -10 * (5/8) = -12.5
fraction not decimal
Apologies for the confusion. When keeping the solution as a fraction instead of converting to a decimal, x = -10 * (5/8) would be x = -50/8.

This fraction simplifies to x = -25/4.
thank you
You're welcome! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

To solve the equation x/12 = 6 and find the value of x, you should multiply both sides of the equation by 12.
What is the solution of the equation 5/2x = −1/8 ?(1 point)
To solve the equation (5/2)x = -1/8, you would first multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/2, which is 2/5, to eliminate the fraction on the left side.

By multiplying both sides by 2/5, the equation becomes:

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

Simplifying further, we have:

x = -2/40

The fraction -2/40 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

x = (-2/2) / (40/2)
x = -1/20

Therefore, the solution of the equation is x = -1/20.
What is the solution of the equation −x/2.9=−3 ?(1 point)

To solve the equation -x/2.9 = -3, you would first multiply both sides of the equation by -2.9 to eliminate the fraction on the left side.

By multiplying both sides by -2.9, the equation becomes:

(-2.9) * (-x/2.9) = (-2.9) * (-3)

Simplifying further, we have:

x = 8.7

Therefore, the solution of the equation is x = 8.7.
What is the solution of the equation 8/5x = −10 ?(1 point)
To solve the equation (8/5)x = -10, you would first multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/5, which is 5/8, to eliminate the fraction on the left side.

By multiplying both sides by 5/8, the equation becomes:

x = (-10) * (5/8)

Simplifying further, we have:

x = -50/8

The fraction -50/8 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

x = (-50/2) / (8/2)
x = -25/4

Therefore, the solution of the equation is x = -25/4.
