Question

15/x and (-3)/8 are equivalent
if x =
-40​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if 15/-40 was to be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 you would get 3/(-8) which would be equivalent to (-3)/8 because (-)(+) = minus.

Answer 2

Answer:

15/-40=(-3)/8

3/(-8)=(-3)/8

hence they are equal
