Question

Solve: 1 5 x = -10 A) -50 B) -20 C) -2 D) 2

Answer 1

In order to find x, you will have to use the operation of equality to isolate the x.

`15x=-10`

Now, use the division property of equality and divide by 15 on both sides. This will cancel out the 15 on the left side of the equation and isolate the x completely.

`-10/15=(-2)/(3)`

Thus, this is your answer:

`\boxed{x=-(2)/(3) }`
