−254
negative Start Fraction 25 over 4 End Fraction

−58
negative Start Fraction 5 over 8 End Fraction

−16

Answer 1

To solve the equation 85x = -10, we need to isolate the variable x.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 85:

85x/85 = -10/85

x = -10/85

So, the solution to the equation is negative Start Fraction 10 over 85 End Fraction.
