Move the negative sign to the left
-x/5 = -20
Multiply both sides by 5
-x = -20 × 5
Simplify 20 × 5 to 100
-x = -100
Multiply both sides by -1
<em>x = 100</em>

Answer: Option A, 19
Answer: 20x
Step-by-step explanation:
First we should note that 60 minutes = 1 hour. Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour
Since Jean can pack 5 cartons in 1/4 hours, the number of carton that he can pack in one hour will be:
= 5 ÷ 1/4
= 5 × 4
= 20 cartons.
Therefore, to get the number of cartons that Jean can pack in x hours, we will multiply 20 by x. This will be:
= 20 × x
= 20x
