Alright depending on the first to answer you gave me, Figure out 5/2x = -1/8
9 months ago
To solve for x in the equation 5/2x = -1/8, you would divide both sides by 5/2.
So, x = -1/8 รท 5/2
When you divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal, so that would be:
x = -1/8 x 2/5, which equals -1/20.

-x/2.9 = -3
first you suppose to multiply both sides by -2.9
9 months ago
Correct, you multiply both sides of the equation by -2.9 to isolate x.
So, -x/2.9 x (-2.9) = -3 x -2.9
This simplifies to:
x = 8.7

Now a bit simpler
8/5x = 10
Reciprocal = 5/8
now multiply both by 5/8 what Cha getting?
9 months ago
Yes, you can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 8/5, which is 5/8.
8/5x * 5/8 = 10 * 5/8
This simplifies to:
x = 50/8
The simplified form of this fraction is x = 6.25.

MY BAD 10 is meant to be NEGATIVE

Ah, I see. If -10 is on the right side of the equation, we would still multiply by the reciprocal of 8/5, which is 5/8.
So, the equation would become:
8/5x * 5/8 = -10 * 5/8
Solving this gives:
x = -50/8
The simplified form of this fraction is x = -6.25.
