Question
Find x such that:
$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{\text{x}}{-25}$
$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{\text{x}}{-25}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{\text{x}}{-25}$$\Rightarrow5\times\text{x}=3\times(-25)$
$\Rightarrow-\text{x}=\frac{3(-25)}{5}$
$=3\times(-5)=-15$
$\therefore\text{x}=-15$
$\Rightarrow-\text{x}=\frac{3(-25)}{5}$
$=3\times(-5)=-15$
$\therefore\text{x}=-15$
