Is it true when the problem says solve

Question

x= then it is one number, or fraction. The test does say below where it is looking for an answer will say type integer, or fraction.

Then I get myself confused when it says
7x = -56
I figured this is dividing -56 by 7
this would be x= -8
But tests says the solution is x=
I believe the test is asking for the problem how I solved to get my answer

Answer 1

x=-8 in the above. It could be written as -56/7, but that is highly uncommon.

I cannot comment on what your test says.
