To solve the equation, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5/8 to isolate x.
(5/8)(8/5x) = (5/8)(-10)
The 8/5 and 5/8 cancel out on the left side, leaving us with:
x = (-10)(5/8)
Multiplying -10 by 5/8 gives us:
x = -50/8
Simplifying the fraction:
x = -25/4
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8/5x = -10 is -25/4. So the correct response is - 25/4.
