If x/−5 = 2, then what is the value of x

?(1 point)

1 answer

To solve for \( x \) in the equation

\[ \frac{x}{-5} = 2, \]

you can multiply both sides by \(-5\) to isolate \( x \):

\[ x = 2 \times (-5). \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = -10. \]

Therefore, the value of \( x \) is

\[ \boxed{-10}. \]
