Question

HOW TO SOLVE 2/5x=-25

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5x=25

So what you do is because you want to get x by itself you wanna divide the fraction (2/5) over itself and then divide 25/(2/5) which will equal x.

X=25/(2/5)

then you plug in 25/(2/5) and it equals 62.5

or 62 1/2

So

X=62.5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = - $\frac{125}{2}$ = - 62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}$ x = - 25

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

2x = - 125 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - $\frac{125}{2}$ = - 62.5
