To find the number whose quotient with -5 is 2, follow these steps:
1. Let's denote the unknown number by [tex]\( n \)[/tex].
2. According to the problem, when [tex]\( n \)[/tex] is divided by -5, the result is 2. This can be written as:
[tex]\[
\frac{n}{-5} = 2
\][/tex]
3. To isolate [tex]\( n \)[/tex] on one side of the equation, multiply both sides by -5:
[tex]\[
n = 2 \times -5
\][/tex]
4. Compute the right-hand side of the equation:
[tex]\[
n = -10
\][/tex]
So, the number is [tex]\( n = -10 \)[/tex].
