Question
Find $x$, such that: $\frac{7}{-4}=\frac{x}{8}$
✓
Answer
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{7}{-4}=\frac{x}{8} \\ & -4 x=7 \times 8 \\ & x=\frac{7 \times 8}{-4}=-7 \times 2=-14 \\ & x=-14 \end{aligned} $
OR
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{-7 \times 2}{4 \times 2}=\frac{x}{8} \\ & \Rightarrow-\frac{14}{8}=\frac{x}{8} \\ & x=-14 \end{aligned} $
