-3/4=-x/8
x = (3*8) /4
x = 6

- 3/4 = - x/8
Swap sides so you can read it left-to-right:
- x/8 = - 3/4
Multiply both sides by (- 1).
x/8 = 3/4
Multiply both sides by 8
x(8/8) = 3(8)/4
Factor 8 into 284
x = 3*2*4/4
x = 3*2 = 6

-3/4=-x/8
Cross multiply:
-3(8) = 4x
-24 = 4x
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
-6 = x

Here you just have to cross multiply:
-3/4=-x/8
-4x=-24
x=6
