What is the solution of the equation 8/5x = -10?
Options:
-1/16
-25/4
-5/8
-16
To solve the equation 8/5x = -10, you need to isolate the variable x.
First, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the fraction:
5 * (8/5x) = 5 * (-10)
8x = -50
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
(8x)/8 = -50/8
x = -25/4
Therefore, the solution of the equation is x = -25/4. Option -25/4 is the correct answer.
