Question

$$\frac{7}{8}x=(-56)$$

Solve for x

$x=-64$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $\frac{8}{7}$, the reciprocal of $\frac{7}{8}$.

$$x=-56\times \frac{8}{7}$$

Express $-56\times \frac{8}{7}$ as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-56\times 8}{7}$$

Multiply $-56$ and $8$ to get $-448$.

$$x=\frac{-448}{7}$$

Divide $-448$ by $7$ to get $-64$.

$$x=-64$$
