Answer:-9

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is -9 because we are solving to get x by itself. Since 8 is being multiplied by x the opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 8 to get x by itself. -72 divided by 8 is -9 because a negative divided or multiplied by a positive is a negative. To check your work you can do 8 times -9 which equals -72.
