Answer 1

x=5

Explanation:

-6+5=-1

start at -6 then go right units until u get -1 you got right 5 units

Answer 2

The value of x in the given equation is:

x=5

Explanation:

We are given a algebraic expression in terms of the variable x by:

`-6+x=-1`

Now, we are asked to find the value of x from the equation.

i.e. we have to solve for x.

i.e. by some appropriate algebraic operation we need to solve for x.

so we will add 6 on both the sides of the equation to get:

`-6+x+6=-1+6\\\\i.e.\\\\-6+6+x=5\\\\i.e.\\\\0+x=5\\\\i.e.\\\\x=5`

Hence, the value of x is: 5
