Question

Solve for x.



-5x = -10

x = 2
x = -2
x = 50

Answer 1

Putting x= 2

`( - 5) * 2 = - 10 \\ - 10 = - 10`

putting x = -2

`( - 5) * ( - 2) = - 10 \\ 5 * 2 = - 10 \\ 10 = - 10 \\ this \: is \: not \: correct \: equation`

putting x = 50

`( - 5) * 50 = - 10 \\ - 250 = - 10 \\ this \: is \: also \: not \: correct \: equation`

so, x = 2 is applicable.
