If 2x=−4
, then what is the value of 8x
?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve for \( 8x \) given the equation \( 2x = -4 \), first, we need to find the value of \( x \).

1. Divide both sides of the equation \( 2x = -4 \) by 2:

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

2. Now, substitute \( x = -2 \) into \( 8x \):

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

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