get rid of the denominator! try to get the variable alone!
b/8 = -2 (multiply both sides by 8!)
b = -16
tada!

multiply both sides by 8 to see what b is. The 8 would go away from the left side and you would have -16 on the right. That is what b equals. Basically, just try to get the letter (or variable) all by itself on one side to solve most of these kinds of problems.

The solutions is as follows=
B/8=-2
B/8 x 8= -2 x 8
B= -16

Use inverse operations to get b...
b/8 = -2
(8)b/8 = -2(8)
b=-16

purely multiply -5.2x30.a million. that's what m will equivalent -5.2=m/30.a million What you prefer to do is attempt and get the variable on my own. it is the letter that represents a selection or set of numbers. So despite if it extremely is m divided by 30.a million, what you prefer to do is obvious that part by eliminating 30.a million. So if the unique question needs you to divide it, then do the choice to eliminate it. yet what you do to a minimum of one part, you are able to desire to do to the different to maintain the question equivalent. The numbers could desire to bypass someplace. they only can not disapear. -5.2=m/30.a million -156.fifty two=m m=-156.fifty two

Remember "whatever you do to one side of the equation, you have to do to the other."
...You have b/8, so to get rid of that, multiply both sides by 8
