Answer:

The operation would be marked as undefined

Explanation:

Many people don't feel comfortable using negative numbers so find the absolute values of both numbers.

|-10| = |-20| to 10 = 20

Since 10 is not equal to 20, it is undefined

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just in case

If you meant (-10)x = (-20) Then do this:

-10x = -20

/-10 /-10 Divide by -10 do get x

A negative divided by a negative makes the answer positive.

-20/-10 = 2

x = 2
