2600-1500= 1100/5 = 220
Um.... What is the question this does not show what you need
-(-(-)(-)(-10x)) = -5
We need to cancel out the negatives, so we need to simplify this.
To make things a bit easier for you, we can begin by counting out how many negatives we have. After counting, you should have a negative number count of 5. However, one of the negatives is apart of (-10x) so we'll have 4 negatives and then an extra negative in with 10x.
Remember that "-" could also be looked at as "-1."
So, if we break this down into smaller parts and substitute "-" into "-1," then this'll look like this :
-1 × -1 × -1 × -1 × (-10x) = -5
Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive.
So, since there are four negatives, then you just multiply it all together.
This results in 1 × (-10x) = -5
Simplify.
-10x = -5
Now, you simply divide both sides by -10.
-10x ÷ -10 = -5 ÷ -10
Simplify.
x = 1/2
~Hope I helped!~
