What is the solution of the equation 85x = −10

To solve the equation \( 85x = -10 \), we can isolate \( x \) by dividing both sides by 85:

\[ x = \frac{-10}{85} \]

This fraction can be simplified. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 5 gives:

\[ x = \frac{-2}{17} \]

Now we should check which response could represent this value. None of the provided answers seem to be the same as \(-\frac{2}{17}\).

However, none of the provided options directly correspond to \(-\frac{2}{17}\). It appears that the answers do not include the correct solution, which is approximately \(-0.1176\). If you need to use one of the given responses, please double-check the options or input.

If looking for approximation, none fit since \(-\frac{2}{17}\) is approximately \(-0.1176\).

If you need help with something specific, please let me know!
