Well, this is a math problem, but lucky for you, math problems can always use a little humor! So let's see if we can solve this in a clownish way.
We're given that the product of -8 and a number is subtracted from 75 and the result is -15. So, we can write it as an equation: 75 - (-8x) = -15.
Now, let's simplify things a bit. Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, so the equation becomes 75 + 8x = -15.
To find the number, we need to isolate x. So, let's keep clowning around with the equation. If we subtract 75 from both sides, we get 8x = -90.
Now, to finish this off, we're going to have to divide by 8. And remember, a clown always shares the laughter, so let's share the 8 and divide both sides of the equation. That gives us x = -11.25.
So, the number that makes this math problem work is -11.25. Now let's hope this answer brings a smile to your face!
