Step-by-step explanation:

Note that a fraction multiplied by it's inverse = 1, that is

[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] = 1

Thus multiplying both sides of the equation by - [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] will solve the equation in one step.

- [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] ( - [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] ) x = 80 ( - [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] ), that is

x = - 100
