Answer:

5/7

Explanation

The product of a number and negative 7/10 is 1/2 can be written as 1/2=(7/10)x, with this equation, multiply by the reciprocal, 10/7, to make the right side of the equation just x. On the left side, multiply 1/2 by 10/7 because when you do something on one side, you must do it on the other. 1/2 times 10/7 equals 5/7. Leaving you with x=5/7
