What is the solution of the equation 8/5x = -10

1 answer

To find the solution of the equation, we need to isolate x.

To do this, we will first multiply both sides of the equation by 5/8 to get rid of the fraction:

(5/8)(8/5x) = (5/8)(-10)

This simplifies to:

1x = -50/8

Simplifying further, we have:

x = -25/4

Therefore, the solution to the equation 8/5x = -10 is x = -25/4.
