Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-8x = -0.56\), you need to isolate \(x\). You can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by \(-8\):

\[ x = \frac{-0.56}{-8} \]

Since dividing two negative numbers yields a positive number, the equation simplifies to:

\[ x = \frac{0.56}{8} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ x = 0.07 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation \(-8x = -0.56\) is:

\[ \boxed{0.07} \]
