Question

$$\frac{x}{-4}=\frac{1}{8}$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $-4$.

$$x=\frac{1}{8}\left(-4\right)$$

Multiply $\frac{1}{8}$ and $-4$ to get $\frac{-4}{8}$.

$$x=\frac{-4}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-4}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$x=-\frac{1}{2}$$
