To solve this equation, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/2, which is 2/5.
(2/5) * (5/2x) = (2/5) * (-1/8)
This simplifies to:
1/x = -1/20
To eliminate the fraction, we can take the reciprocal of both sides:
x = -20/1
Therefore, the solution of the equation 5/2x = -1/8 is x = -20.
What is the solution of the equation 5/2x = −1/8 ?
