5.4 - 6x = -6

Answer 1

x = 1.9

Explanation:

5.4 - 6x = -6

Gotta isolate the x, so you would minus 5.4 from both sides:

5.4 - 5.4 - 6x = (-6) - 5.4

5.4 - 5.4 cancels out, and (-6) - 5.4 is -11.4 What's left is:

- 6x = -11.4

Gotta isolate the x, so divide -6 to both sides. It negative because the sign in front of it is a subtraction sign, it would be positive if there is a addition sign:

- 6x/(-6) = (-11.4)/(-6)

-6 divide by -6 cancels out, and -11.4 divided by -6 is 1.9. A negative divided by a negative is a positive. Result, x is now isolated:

x = 1.9
