Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


-(2)/(3)=(x)/(15)

Step 1:

Cross multiply


\begin{gathered} 3\text{ }* x\text{ = -2 }*15 \\ 3x\text{ = -30} \end{gathered}

Step 2:

Divide both sides by 3


\begin{gathered} (3x)/(3)=(-30)/(3) \\ x\text{ = -10} \end{gathered}

Hence the value of x is -10
