To find the solution for the equation 8/5x = -10, we need to isolate the variable "x".

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5/8 to eliminate the fraction. This gives us:

x = (-10)(5/8)

Simplifying the right side of the equation:

x = -50/8

The solution is -50/8, which can be further simplified as -25/4 or negative 25/4.
