Question

-5/4 = x -7/10 solve for x and show work please

Answer 1

First lets start by making the denominators the same. I multiplied the 4 by 5 and 10 by 2.

-25/20 = x -14/20
Add 14/20 on both sides (do the opposite to cancel out and whatever you do to one side you need to do to the other.
You should get -11/20 = x
