Answer:


-(25)/(3)

Explanation:

To isolate for x, start by multiplying both sides by 2.5.


(25)/(3) =-x

Next, divide both sides by -1.


(-25)/(3) =x

Answer:

x = -25/3

Explanation:

10/3 = x / (-5/2)

Multiply each side by (-5/2) to isolate x

-(5/2) * 10/3 = -5/2 * (x / (-5/2))

-50/6 = x

Divide the top and bottom by 2 on the left hand side

-25/3 =x

Changing to a mixed number ( if required)

3 goes into 25 8 times ( 3*8=24) with 1 left over(25-24=1)

x = -8 1/3
