Explain Bot To find the solution of the equation 8/5x = -10, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by performing some algebraic steps.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the denominator of 8/5 on the left side:
(5)(8/5x) = (5)(-10)
By multiplying both sides by 5, we get:
8x = -50
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
(8x)/8 = (-50)/8
By dividing both sides by 8, we get:
x = -6.25
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8/5x = -10 is x = -6.25.
