a)-36 b)+36 c)40 d)32

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is d) 32

Explaination

Given- (-5)/8= (-20)/x

To find - value of x

solution -

(-5)/8= (-20)/X

X(-5) = 8 (-20)

(-5x) = (-160)

X= (-160)/(-5)

X= 32

Answer 2

Answer:

if (-5)/8=(-20)/x then,

cross multiply it

(-5)(x)=(-20)(8)

so, -5x= -160

so,x=(-160)/(-5)

both the terms is negative so the resultant will be positive

x=32
