1 |
Solve the equation |
\$ -5x=1.5 \$ |
2 |
Given equation |
\$ -5x=1.5 \$ |
3 |
Dividing on both sides by "5" we get |
\$ (-5x) /5=1.5/5 \$ |
4 |
After cancellation we get |
\$ -x=1.5/5 \$ |
5 |
Multiply numerator and denominator with "10" |
\$ -x=(1.5 × 10)/(5 × 10) \$ |
6 |
After simplification we get |
\$ -x=15/50 \$ |
7 |
Multipling "-1" on both sides of the equation |
\$ (-1) × (-x)=(15/50) × (-1) \$ |
8 |
After multiplication we get |
\$ x=-15/50 \$ |
9 |
Hence the solution of the given equation is |
\$ x=-3/10 \$ |
