Question

oh boy, I'm just dumb today, super easy questions:
-5/7x=-10
solving for x, can't figure out if is 9 2/7 or 8 2/7 or what

Answer 1

first, put it like this. it's easier to work with when it's formatted like this :)

Answer 2

It is impossible to tell if your equation is
\[\frac{ -5 }{ 7x }= -10\]
or
\[\frac{ -5 }{ 7 }x = -10\]
Which is it?

Answer 3

so now you multiply both sides by 7x so you get it out of the denominator.
