What is the solution of the equation 85x = −10

Question

?

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 85x = -10 \), you need to isolate \( x \).

You can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 85:

\[ x = \frac{-10}{85} \]

Now, simplify the fraction:

\[ x = \frac{-2}{17} \]

So, the solution to the equation \( 85x = -10 \) is

\[ x = -\frac{2}{17}. \]
