Question

1. -104 = 8x
2. 14b = -56
3. -6 = \frac{b}{18}
4. 10n = 40

Explanation:

Step1: Solve -104 = 8x for x

Divide both sides by 8: $x=\frac{-104}{8}=-13$

Step2: Solve 14b = -56 for b

Divide both sides by 14: $b=\frac{-56}{14}=-4$

Step3: Solve -6 = $\frac{b}{18}$ for b

Multiply both sides by 18: $b=-6\times18 = - 108$

Step4: Solve 10n = 40 for n

Divide both sides by 10: $n=\frac{40}{10}=4$

Answer:

1. $x = - 13$
2. $b=-4$
3. $b=-108$
4. $n = 4$
