Answer:
x = -25
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1. combine all terms into a single fraction</u>
-2x/5 = 10
<u>2. multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators</u>
5 x -2x/5 = -5 x 10
<u>3. cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator</u>
-2x = -5 x 10
<u>4. multiply the numbers</u>
-2x = -50
<u>5. divide both sides of the equation by the same term</u>
-2x/2 = -50/2
<u>6. simplify</u>
x = -25
