Question

Please help?
5+x/8=-4

Answer 1

5+x/8=-4
x/8=-4-5
x/8=-9
x=-9*8=-72

Answer 2

agreed.
5+x/8=-4
x/8=-9
x=-72

Answer 3

First bring the 5 to the other side by substracting it
x/8 = - 4 - 5
x/8 = -9
Now mulitply by 8/1 to cross out 8 on both sides =
8/1 * x/8 = -9 x 8/1
x = -72

Answer 4

(5+x)/8 = -4
by multiplying both sides by 8, we have:
5+x = -4(8)
5+x= -32
Subtracting 5 from both sides gives us:
x = -32 - 5
x = -37
