Question

I’m really confused on my subject and how to solve it

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf x = -100}`

Explanation:

→ We want to solve this equation:

`\sf (1)/(5) x = -20`

◼ Simplify the fraction:

`\sf (x)/(5) = -20`

◼ Multiply both sides by 5:

`\sf (x)/(5)* 5 = -20 * 5`

◼ Simplify both sides:

`\boxed{\sf x = -100}`

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation 1/5x = -20 is -100.

Answer 2

x = - 100

Explanation:

`(1)/(5)` x = - 20

multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

5 ×
`(1)/(5)` x = 5 × - 20 , that is

x = - 100
