Solve for x : {:[(10)/(3)=(x)/((-(5)/(2)))],[x=]:}

Cross multiply for x: Cross multiply to solve for x. (10/3) * (-5/2) = xMultiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and denominators. 10 * -5 = -50, and 3 * 2 = 6, so (-50/6) = xSimplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction. -50/6 can be simplified to -25/3, so x = -25/3

Q. Solve for

x

\newline

\begin{array}{l} \frac{10}{3}=\frac{x}{\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)} \\ x=\square \end{array}

Cross multiply for x: Cross multiply to solve for x. $\newline$ $(\frac{10}{3}) \times (\frac{-5}{2}) = x$
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and denominators. $10 \times -5 = -50$ , and $3 \times 2 = 6$ , so $\left(-\frac{50}{6}\right) = x$
Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction. $\newline$ $-\frac{50}{6}$ can be simplified to $-\frac{25}{3}$ , so $x = -\frac{25}{3}$
