Solve 8x=19*(-8/21)

$$8 x = 19 \times ( - \frac { 8 } { 21 } )$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{19}{21}\approx -0.904761905$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express 19\left(-\frac{8}{21}\right) as a single fraction.

$$8x=\frac{19\left(-8\right)}{21}$$

Multiply 19 and -8 to get -152.

$$8x=\frac{-152}{21}$$

Fraction \frac{-152}{21} can be rewritten as -\frac{152}{21} by extracting the negative sign.

$$8x=-\frac{152}{21}$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{152}{21}}{8}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{152}{21}}{8} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-152}{21\times 8}$$

Multiply 21 and 8 to get 168.

$$x=\frac{-152}{168}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-152}{168} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$x=-\frac{19}{21}$$
