A. To find the value of 8x, we need to first solve the equation 2x = -4 and then substitute the solution into 8x.
1. Start with the equation 2x = -4.
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x:
2x/2 = -4/2
x = -2
3. Substitute the value of x into 8x:
8(-2) = -16
Therefore, the value of 8x is -16.
B. To find the solution of the equation -8x = -0.56, we need to isolate x.
1. Start with the equation -8x = -0.56.
2. Divide both sides of the equation by -8:
-8x/-8 = -0.56/-8
x = 0.07
Therefore, the solution of the equation -8x = -0.56 is x = 0.07.
C. To find the solution of the equation (4/3)x = -6/5, we need to isolate x.
1. Start with the equation (4/3)x = -6/5.
2. Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 4/3, which is 3/4:
(4/3)x * (3/4) = -6/5 * (3/4)
x = -18/20
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
x = -9/10
Therefore, the solution of the equation (4/3)x = -6/5 is x = -9/10.
