Question

What is the solution of the equation −8x = −0.56
?(1 point)

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

To solve the equation \(-8x = -0.56\), you can divide both sides by \(-8\):

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

Calculating the right side:

\[
x = \frac{0.56}{8} = 0.07
\]

So the solution is:

\[
x = 0.07
\]

Answer 3

Apologies for any confusion! Let's solve the equation \(-8x = -0.56\) step by step once again.

1. Start with the equation:

\[
-8x = -0.56
\]

2. To isolate \(x\), divide both sides by \(-8\):

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

3. Since dividing by a negative cancels out the negative signs, we have:

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

4. Now calculate \(0.56 \div 8\):

\[
x = 0.07
\]

Thus, the correct solution is indeed:

\[
x = 0.07
\]
