What is the answer to this equation?

-104 = 8x

x = - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we need to get the variable, x, by itself.

-104 = 8x

x is being multiplied by 8. To undo this, divide both sides by 8. We divide, because division is the opposite of multiplication.

-104/8=8x/8

This allows the 8s on the right to cancel, so we are left with

-13=x

x=-13

Step-by-step explanation:

-104 divided by 8 to isolate x
