Steps Problem Solution

1

Solve the equation

\$ -5x=-3.5 \$

2

Given equation

\$ -5x=-3.5 \$

3

Dividing on both sides by "5" we get

\$ (-5x)/5=-3.5/5 \$

4

After cancellation we get

\$ -x=-3.5/5 \$

5

Multiply numerator and denominator with "10"

\$ -x=-(3.5 × 10)/(5 × 10) \$

6

After simplification we get

\$ -x=-35/50 \$

7

cancelled "-" sign on both sides of the equation is

\$ x= (35/50) \$

8

After cancellation both numerator and denominator by "5" we get

\$ x=7/10 \$

9

Hence the solution of the given equation is

\$ x=7/10 \$
