Solve 2.5=x/2.4*(-1)=

$$2.5= \frac{ x }{ 2.4 } \times (-1)=$$

Solve for x

$$x=-6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{2.5}{-1}=\frac{x}{2.4}$$

Expand \frac{2.5}{-1} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{25}{-10}=\frac{x}{2.4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{-10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$-\frac{5}{2}=\frac{x}{2.4}$$

Multiply both sides by 2.4.

$$-\frac{5}{2}\times 2.4=x$$

Convert decimal number 2.4 to fraction \frac{24}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{24}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{12}{5}=x$$

Multiply -\frac{5}{2} times \frac{12}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-5\times 12}{2\times 5}=x$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-5\times 12}{2\times 5}.

$$\frac{-60}{10}=x$$

Divide -60 by 10 to get -6.

$$-6=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=-6$$
