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.
