Step-by-step explanation:

The simple answer is you should put something equivalent to -2/5 in the blank. This is what will happen,

-5 * - 2/5

The 5's will cancel out. The minus sign that was in front of the 5 will become positive because 2 minuses make a plus.

Another way to do the problem is to call the ___  = x

-5 x = 2                  Divide both sides by - 5

-5x/ -5 =  2/-5

x = - 2/5

It comes to the same thing.

A third way is just to multiply by - 0.4

-5 * -0.4 = 2
