Domain:\ a\neq0\ \wedge\ b\neq0

\dfrac{x}{a}=\dfrac{x}{b}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\bx=ax\qquad|\text{subtract ax from both sides}\\\\bx-ax=0\\\\x(b-a)=0\qquad|\text{divide both sides by }\ b-a\neq0\\\\x=0

\dfrac{x}{a}=\dfrac{x}{b}\\\\if\ a\neq b\ then\ x=0\\\\if\ a=b\ then\ x\in\mathbb{R}

Answer:

Juan believes the answer is -2/15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem is :

We need to solve the problem.

\dfrac{-1}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{-1\times 2}{3\times 5}\\\\=\dfrac{-2}{15}

So, the answer to the problem is \dfrac{-2}{15}. Hence, Juan is correct.
