Answer:
The equation is x =
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
∴ Negative one eighth means
→ Assume that the number is x
∵ "of" means times
∴ Negative one eighth of a number = × (x)
∴ Negative one eighth of a number = x
∵ Negative one eighth of a number is
→ "is" means equal, so the left side is x and the right side is
∴ x =
⇒ Equation
∴ The equation is x =
