Question

find x if 5x/15 = -8/15​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We Have :-

$\dfrac{5x}{15} = \dfrac{ - 8}{15}$

To Find :-

$x$

Solution :-

$\dfrac{5x}{15} = \dfrac{ - 8}{15} \\ \\ \\ cross \: multiplying \\ \\ \\ 15(5x) = - 8(15) \\ \\ \\ 75x = - 120 \\ \\ \\ x = \dfrac{ - 120}{75} \\ \\ \\ x = \dfrac{ - 8}{5}$

Answer 2

$\large{\underline{\red{\rm{Given:}}}}$

→ $\sf \dfrac{5x}{15}$ = $\sf \dfrac{-8}{15}$

$\large{\underline{\red{\rm{To\:Find:}}}}$

Value of " x "

$\large{\underline{\red{\rm{Solution:}}}}$

→ $\sf{5x}$ = $\sf \dfrac{-8×15}{15}$

→ $\sf{5x}$ = $-8 ×\cancel\dfrac{15}{15}$

→ $\sf{x}$ = $\sf \dfrac{-8}{5}$

$\large{\boxed{\sf{Final\:ans = \dfrac{-8}{5}}}}$
