Answer:
x = -768
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent the unknown integer as x.
The equation would be:
[tex] \frac{x}{ - 8} + ( - 25) = 71[/tex]
Just solve it as a linear equation.
Multiply it by -8 to cancel the fraction.
[tex] \frac{ - 8(x)}{ - 8} + - 8( - 25) = - 8(71)[/tex]
Cancel it out.
[tex]x + 200 = - 568[/tex]
Simplify the equation.
[tex]x + 200 - 200 = - 568 - 200[/tex]
[tex]x = - 768[/tex]
