Solve for x:
-x/4 = 1/10
Multiply both sides of -x/4 = 1/10 by -4:
(-4 (-x))/4 = (-4)/10
(-4)/4 = (4 (-1))/4 = -1:
--1 x = (-4)/10
(-1)^2 = 1:
x = (-4)/10
Express -4/10 in its lowest form by cancelling out gcd(-4, 10) = 2 from the numerator and denominator. -4/10 = (2 (-2))/(2×5) = -2/5:
Answer: | x = (-2)/5
