Answer:
The equation is [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] x = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The Equation is formed from two sides equal to each other
- In the algebraic statement "is" means equal
- In the algebraic statement "of" means times (×)
∵ One eighth means [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
∴ Negative one eighth means [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
→ Assume that the number is x
∵ "of" means times
∴ Negative one eighth of a number = [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] × (x)
∴ Negative one eighth of a number = [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] x
∵ Negative one eighth of a number is [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
→ "is" means equal, so the left side is [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] x and the right side is [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
∴ [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] x = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ⇒ Equation
∴ The equation is [tex]-\frac{1}{8}[/tex] x = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
