Question

8 5x=-2 whats the value of the variable?

Answer 1

In order to get the value of x you have to set x by itself subtract from both sides because the only way to get rid of a positve its with a negative now you have 5x=6, now divide 5 from both sides because the only way to get rid of a multiplication is with a division, this will give you the final answer of x=6/5

Hope this helps
