To solve the value of x in the equation x/12=6, you should multiply both sides of the equation by 12.
What is the solution of the equation 5/2x = −1/8 ?(1 point)
To solve the equation 5/2x = -1/8, you should first multiply both sides of the equation by 2/5 (the reciprocal of 5/2) to isolate x:

(2/5)(5/2x) = (2/5)(-1/8)
1x = (-2/40)
x = -1/20

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -1/20.
What is the solution of the equation −x/2.9=−3 ?(1 point)
To solve the equation −x/2.9=−3, you should first multiply both sides of the equation by 2.9 to remove the denominator:

2.9 * (−x/2.9) = 2.9 * (−3)
−x = −8.7

Next, to solve for x, multiply both sides of the equation by -1:

(-1) * (−x) = (-1) * (−8.7)
x = 8.7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8.7.
What is the solution of the equation 8/5x = −10 ?(1 point)
To solve the equation 8/5x = -10, you should first isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5/8 (the reciprocal of 8/5):

(5/8)(8/5x) = (5/8)(-10)
1x = (-50/8)

To simplify the solution, you can reduce the fraction -50/8:

x = -(25/4)

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -(25/4) or -6.25.
are you sure all of your anwers are correct
Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's solve the equation 8/5x = -10 correctly:

To isolate x, you need to multiply both sides of the equation by 5/8 (the reciprocal of 8/5):

(5/8) * (8/5x) = (5/8) * (-10)
1x = -50/8

To simplify the solution, you can reduce the fraction -50/8:

x = -25/4

Therefore, the correct solution to the equation is x = -25/4 or -6.25. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
