10/3 = x/ (-5/2) what does x equal

The answer to the equation is [tex]x=-\frac{25}{3}[/tex]
First, you must cross multiply the fractions.
[tex]10*-\frac{5}{2} =x*3[/tex]
[tex]-25=3x[/tex]
Then, you must flip the equation.
[tex]3x=-25[/tex]
Finally, divide 3 on each side
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-25}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=-\frac{25}{3}[/tex]
