Question

Rami is solving the equation for x .

–6x – 1 = 5

–6x – 1 1 = (5 1)

–6x = 6

–6x – 6 = 6 –6

x = –1

Which operation symbols should Rami write in the and the ?

should contain +; should contain ×
should contain +; should contain ÷
should contain –; should contain ×
should contain –; should contain ÷

Answer 1

should contain +; should contain ÷ is the correct answer I think

Answer 2

should contain +; should contain ÷

Explanation:

Rami is solving the equation for x .

–6x – 1 = 5

In the first step , we add 1 on both sides to eliminate -1

–6x – 1 + 1 = (5 + 1)

–6x = 6

Now we divide both sides by -6 to eliminate -6 from left hand side

–6x ÷ – 6 = 6 ÷ –6

x = –1

should contain +; should contain ÷
