Question

what is the soluion o 5+x/8=-4

Answer 1

x=-27

Answer 2

i disagree. heres why. your first step is to multiply both sides by 8, this gets rid of your fraction so, \[(8) (5+x/8) = -4(8)\]
now you have
\[5+x=-32\]
from there subtract 5 on both sides
\[5+x - 5=-32-5\]
so now youre left with
\[x=-37\]

Answer 3

correct answer is -72

Answer 4

add 8 to both sides\[8(5+x/8)=-4(8)\] \[40+x=-32\]then make sure the number and variable are on different sides by subtracting 40 from both sides. And your answer will be:\[x=-72\]
