\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\text{The word \bf{product}}\huge\text{ means multiply in}\\\huge\text{mathematics.}


\huge\text{The number is unknown so we can label}\\\huge\text{it as: x}


\huge\text{Your equation will be setup like this: -2.5x = 60}


\text{-2.5x = 60}\\\text{First divide both sides by -2.5}\rightarrow\frac{-2.5\text{x}}{-2.5} = (60)/(-2.5)\\\text{Cancel out:}\frac{2.5\text{x}}{2.5}\text{ because it equals 1}\\\\\text{Keep:}(60)/(-2.5)\text{because it helps us find the unknown number}\\\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\text{Answer: x = -24}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
