You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If this is what you meant:
%282%2F5%29x=-10
%285%2F2%29%282%2F5%29x=-10%285%2F2%29
%2810%2F10%29x=-50%2F2
1x=-25
highlight%28x=-25%29
Check, if x=-25 does the equation equal?
%282%2F5%29%28-25%29=-10
-50%2F5=-10
-10=-10 We're right!!!

If this is what you meant:
2%2F5x=-10
5x%282%2F5x%29=5x%28-10%29
2=-50x
2%2F-50=-50x%2F-50
-1%2F25=x
highlight%28x=-1%2F25%29
You can check this the way I checked the first one if you want.
Happy Calculating!!!
