What is the solution of the following equation?

  1. -7/4

  2. -4/7

  3. 0

  4. 5

The correct answer is: -7/4

A solution to an equation is a value that when substituted into the equation makes it true. To find the solution to this equation, one can use the order of operations and follow the steps 5 * (-2/3) = -7/3. Therefore, -7/3 is the solution to this equation and choice A is correct. Option B is incorrect because it is the reciprocal of the correct answer. Choices C and D are also incorrect because they are not equivalent to the simplified expression of -7/3.
