Answer:
[tex]x=-\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Given the following question:
[tex]\frac{1}{4} x=-\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
To find the value of x we have to multiply both sides by 1/4.
[tex]\frac{1}{4} x=-\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4} x\div\frac{1}{4} =x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4} x=-\frac{5}{8}=-\frac{5}{8} \times\frac{1}{4} =-\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=-\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
Hope this helps.
