Question

solve the following equation.
\frac{x}{5}-4=-8
\\( \bigcirc x=-60 \\)
\\( \bigcirc x=60 \\)
\\( \text{\textcircled{\textbullet}} x=-20 \\)
\\( \bigcirc x=20 \\)

Explanation:

planation:

Step1: Add 4 to both sides

$$\frac{x}{5}-4 + 4=-8 + 4$$
$$\frac{x}{5}=-4$$

Step2: Multiply both sides by 5

$$\frac{x}{5}\times5=-4\times5$$
$$x = - 20$$

Answer:

$x=-20$
