[tex]\huge\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{The word \bf{product}}\huge\text{ means multiply in}\\\huge\text{mathematics.}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{The number is unknown so we can label}\\\huge\text{it as: x}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{Your equation will be setup like this: -2.5x = 60}[/tex]
[tex]\text{-2.5x = 60}\\\text{First divide both sides by -2.5}\rightarrow\dfrac{-2.5\text{x}}{-2.5} = \dfrac{60}{-2.5}\\\text{Cancel out:}\dfrac{2.5\text{x}}{2.5}\text{ because it equals 1}\\\\\text{Keep:}\dfrac{60}{-2.5}\text{because it helps us find the unknown number}\\\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\text{Answer: x = -24}}}\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}[/tex]
