Answer 5

-16 = 8x/5

Isolate x. Cancel out the 5 by multiplying by 5, since it is being divided.

-16 * 5 = (8x/5) * 5
-80 = 8x
Now divide 8 on both sides to cancel out the 8 being multiplied.
-80/8 = 8x/8
-10 = x

2)x = 4 3/8
3)x = 5 5/7

Answer 8

\[-16 = \frac{ 8x }{5 }\]
\[-16* 5 = 8x\]
\[-80 = 8x\]
\[x = \frac{ -80 }{ 8} = -10\]
