Solve. -8x-25= -27 and 2/3.
My answer is x= -1/3.
Is this correct?
Thanks.

-8x=-2 2/3 and then divide each side by -8. You could also multiply both sides by -1/8, the reciprocal, if that is easier for you. -8/3 multiplied by -1/8 = positive not negative 1/3. Your final answer was correct, but the sign was incorrect.
