What is the solution of the equation 5/2x = -1/8
2 answers
The solution of the equation 5/2x = -1/8 is x = -4.
5 / 2 x = - 1 / 8
Multiply both sides by 2.
5 x = - 2 / 8 = 2 ∙ ( - 1 ) / 2 ∙ 4
5 x = - 1 / 4
Divide both sides by 5.
x = - 1 / 20
Multiply both sides by 2.
5 x = - 2 / 8 = 2 ∙ ( - 1 ) / 2 ∙ 4
5 x = - 1 / 4
Divide both sides by 5.
x = - 1 / 20
