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

1 answer

To solve the equation 5/8x = -10, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

To do this, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/8, which is 8/5:

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

This simplifies to:

1x = -16

Thus, the solution to the equation is x = -16.
