You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2/5x = -10/1 [cross-multiply and solve for the x-term]
\n" ); document.write( "(2)(1)=(5x)(-10)
\n" ); document.write( "2=-50x
\n" ); document.write( "2/-50=x
\n" ); document.write( "-1/25=x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check by plugging (x=-1/25) back into the original equation and solve.
