Question

`- (x)/(5 ) = 25`
what is the answer ​

Answer 1

x = - 125

Explanation:

-
`(x)/(5)` = 25 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

- x = 125 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 125

Answer 2

x = -125

Explanation:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by -5.

• 
  `-(x)/(5)* (-5) = 25 * (-5)`
• 
  `x = -125`

Step 2: Check if solution is correct.

• 
  `-((-125))/(5) = 25`
• 
  `-(-25)=25`
• 
  `25=25`

Therefore, x = -125.
