Answer 1

Answer:

Given Equation :

$\: \: \: \: \: \: { \sf{ \pmb{ \frac{5}{2}x = - 5 }}}$

Solution:

$\: \: \: \: \: \: : { \implies{ \sf{ \frac{5x}{2} = - 5}}} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: : { \implies{ \sf{5x = - 10}}} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: : { \implies{ \sf{x = \frac{ - 10}{5} }}} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: : { \implies{ \pink{ \boxed{ \pmb{ \rm{x = - 2}}}}}}$

Therefore,

• The correct answer is -2
