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!!!
