To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
Given: 8/5x = -10
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5/8 to get rid of the fraction:
(5/8)(8/5x) = (5/8)(-10)
1x = -50/8
Simplifying the right side gives:
x = -25/4
The solution to the equation is B. -25/4.
What is the solution of the equation 8/5x = −10?
A. -5/8
B. -25/4
C. -1/16
D. -16
