Answer: X = -18

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, notice that x is being divided by -3 so to get x by itself, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by -3.

Notice that on the left side, the -3 and -3 cancel each other out so we're just left with x.

On the right side, we have 6 × -3 which is -18 so X = -18.

Finally, we can check our answer by plugging a -18 back into the original equation.

So we have -18 ÷ -3 = 6, which is a true statement which means that our answer is correct.
