What is negative one eighth of a number is -3/4 as an equation? will name the brainliest!

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is  $-\frac{1}{8}$ x = $-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equation is formed from two sides equal to each other

• In the algebraic statement "is" means equal

• In the algebraic statement "of" means times (×)

∵ One eighth means $\frac{1}{8}$

∴ Negative one eighth means  $-\frac{1}{8}$

→ Assume that the number is x

∵ "of" means times

∴ Negative one eighth of a number = $-\frac{1}{8}$ × (x)

∴ Negative one eighth of a number = $-\frac{1}{8}$ x

∵ Negative one eighth of a number is $-\frac{3}{4}$

→ "is" means equal, so the left side is $-\frac{1}{8}$ x and the right side is $-\frac{3}{4}$

∴  $-\frac{1}{8}$ x = $-\frac{3}{4}$ ⇒ Equation

∴ The equation is  $-\frac{1}{8}$ x = $-\frac{3}{4}$
