Question

Solve: 1 5 x = -10 A) -50 B) -20 C) -2 D) 2

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to find x, you will have to use the operation of equality to isolate the x.

$15x=-10$

Now, use the division property of equality and divide by 15 on both sides. This will cancel out the 15 on the left side of the equation and isolate the x completely.

$-10/15=\frac{-2}{3}$

Thus, this is your answer:

$\boxed{x=-\frac{2}{3} }$
