If 2X equals negative 4 then what is the value of 8X?

Answer 1

To solve for \( X \) in the equation \( 2X = -4 \), we can divide both sides by 2:

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

Now, we need to find the value of \( 8X \). We can do this by multiplying \( X \) by 8:

\[ 8X = 8 \times (-2) = -16 \]

Thus, the value of \( 8X \) is \(\boxed{-16}\).
