To find the solution of the equation 85x = -10, you need to isolate the variable x.
Divide both sides of the equation by 85:
85x/85 = -10/85
x = -10/85
Simplifying the fraction gives the solution:
x = negative Start Fraction 10 over 85 End Fraction
Therefore, the solution is negative Start Fraction 10 over 85 End Fraction.
