Question

10/3 = x/ (-5/2) what does x equal

Answer 1

The answer to the equation is $x=-\frac{25}{3}$

First, you must cross multiply the fractions.

$10*-\frac{5}{2} =x*3$

$-25=3x$

Then, you must flip the equation.

$3x=-25$

Finally, divide 3 on each side

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-25}{3}$

$x=-\frac{25}{3}$
