Question

How do i find the value of x that is placed as the numerator?
×/5+1=-6

Answer 1

`\cfrac{x}{5 {+} 1}=-6`

First, simplify the denominator

`\cfrac{x}{6}=-6`

Second, to find the value of x, we should move 6 to the right side. On the left side, 6 acts as the divisor. After moving to the right side, it becomes the dividend (multiplication)

`\cfrac{x}{6}=-6`

`x=-6 * 6`

`x=-36`

The value of x is -36
