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

the answer choices are -5/8, -16, -1/16, -25/4

1 answer

To solve the equation 8/5x = -10, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction 8/5, which is 5/8.

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

On the left side, the fractions cancel out, leaving us with:

(x) = (-50/8)

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

(x) = -25/4

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