If 2x=−4

Question

, then what is the value of 8x
?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve for \( 8x \) when \( 2x = -4 \), we start with the given equation:

\[ 2x = -4 \]

Now, we want to determine the value of \( x \). We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

\[ x = \frac{-4}{2} = -2 \]

Now that we have the value of \( x \), we can find \( 8x \):

\[ 8x = 8(-2) = -16 \]

Thus, the value of \( 8x \) is \( -16 \).
