The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{x}{15} = \frac{-14}{21}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the equation We start with the equation: \[ \frac{x}{15} = \frac{-14}{21} \] ### Step 2: Cross-multiply To eliminate the fractions, we will cross-multiply: \[ x \cdot 21 = -14 \cdot 15 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now we can simplify both sides: \[ 21x = -14 \cdot 15 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \(-14 \cdot 15\) We need to calculate \(-14 \cdot 15\): \[ -14 \cdot 15 = -210 \] So now we have: \[ 21x = -210 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) To find \(x\), we divide both sides by 21: \[ x = \frac{-210}{21} \] ### Step 6: Simplify \(\frac{-210}{21}\) Now we simplify \(\frac{-210}{21}\): \[ x = -10 \] ### Final Result Thus, the value of \(x\) is: \[ x = -10 \]
