Final answer:

To solve the equation, we need to isolate x. After simplifying the equation step by step, we find that x equals 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we need to isolate x. Let's simplify the equation step by step:

-1/5x = 6 - 3/0 - 6/5 - 1 6 1/5

First, we need to address the division by zero, which is undefined. So, the equation becomes:

-1/5x = 6 - 6/5 - 1 6 1/5

To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 5. So, we rewrite the equation as:

-1/5x = 30/5 - 6/5 - 31/5

Now, we can add the fractions:

-1/5x = (30 - 6 - 31)/5

-1/5x = -7/5

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by -5 and simplify:

x = (-7/5) * (-5)

x = 7
