Question

What does x equal?

x + 5/8 = 0

Answer 1

The opposite of 5/8

Answer 2

Well, first you can do 5/8, so what is 5/8?

Answer 3

If you subtract 5/8 from both sides you will find that x equals -5/8, the opposite of 5/8. That's how I look at it :D

Answer 4

Thats what I was thinking just didnt know if i was right.. thanks:)

Answer 5

See you can do 5/8 which equals 0.625, so you can plug in 0.625 where 5/8 was.

x + 0.625 = 0

Then you can subtract 0.625 on both sides

x + 0.625 - 0.625 = 0 - 0.625

x = -0.625

-0.625 as a fraction is \(\sf \frac{-5}{8}\), so x = -0.625 or \(\sf \frac{-5}{8}\)
