1 answer

To find the number that 70 is divided by to equal -7, you can set up the equation:

\[ 70 \div x = -7 \]

To find \(x\), multiply both sides by \(x\) and then by -1:

\[ 70 = -7x \]

Now, divide both sides by -7:

\[ x = \frac{70}{-7} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ x = -10 \]

So, 70 divided by -10 equals -7. The answer is -10.
