To solve the equation \( \frac{8}{5}x = -10 \), we can follow these steps:
-
Multiply both sides by \( \frac{5}{8} \) to isolate \( x \): \[ x = -10 \cdot \frac{5}{8} \]
-
Now calculate \( -10 \cdot \frac{5}{8} \): \[ x = -\frac{50}{8} \]
-
Simplify \( -\frac{50}{8} \): \[ x = -\frac{25}{4} \]
So, the solution to the equation \( \frac{8}{5}x = -10 \) is
\[ x = -\frac{25}{4}. \]
