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:

\[
\boxed{0.07}
\]
