10x / -10 = -14
Multiply both sides by -10:
10x (-10/-10) = -14(-10)
10x = 140
Now divide both sides by 10:
10/10*x = 140/10
x = 14
Check:
10(14) /(-10) = -14
140 / (-10) = -14
-14 = -14
Since this is true, x = 14...

10x / -10 = -14
10x = -14*-10, multiply both sides by -10 to get rid of denominator
10x = 140
x = 14, divide both sides by 10 to solve for x

10x / -10 = -14
Multiply both sides by -10
10x = 140
divide both sides by 10 to get x alone.
x = 14
