Answer:
If the question is (2/3x) = -10,
x = -(1/15) = - 0.06667
The check is presented under the explanation below
If the correct question is (2/3)x = -10,
x = -15
The check is presented under the explanation below
Explanation:
If the question is rightly written as it is in the attached document,
(2/3x) = -10
We can cross multiply and obtain
2 = -10 × 3x
-30x = 2
x = -(2/30) = -(1/15) = - 0.06667
To check
(2/3x) = -10,
(2 ÷ 3x) = -10
2 ÷ 3(-1/15) = 2 ÷ (-1/5) = 2 ÷ (-0.2) = -10 (Correct!)
If the correct question is
(2/3)x = -10
Divide both sides by (2/3)
x = -10 ÷ (2/3)
x = -10 × (3/2)
x = -15
To check
(2/3)x = -10
If x = -15
(2/3) × (-15) = -10 (Correct!)
Hope this Helps!!!
