4
, then what is the value of 8x
8
𝑥
?(1 point).........

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 2x = -4 \), we first need to isolate \( x \).

1. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = \frac{-4}{2} = -2
\]

Now that we have \( x = -2 \), we need to find the value of \( 8x \):

2. Multiply \( x \) by 8:
\[
8x = 8(-2) = -16
\]

Therefore, the value of \( 8x \) is \( \boxed{-16} \).
