To solve the equation 8/5x = -10, we can isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/5, which is 5/8.
(8/5x) * (5/8) = -10 * (5/8)
The multiplication on the left side simplifies to:
1 * x = -(50/8)
x = -(50/8)
Simplifying the fraction further, we have:
x = -25/4 or x = -6.25
(8/5x) * (5/8) = -10 * (5/8)
The multiplication on the left side simplifies to:
1 * x = -(50/8)
x = -(50/8)
Simplifying the fraction further, we have:
