Question

-x = 10
I will____ both sides by_____

x= _____

Answer 1

I will divide both sides by -1.

x = -10

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to isolate x on one side of the equation. In this equation, 10 = -x.

Remember that the coefficient of a single variable is always 1, so 1x = x. We have -x, which means it's actually -1x. Solve using -1x instead of -x.

`-x=10`

`-1x=10`

Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x.

`(-1x)/(-1) =(10)/(-1)`

Simplify.

`x = -10`

x is equal to -10.

The answer is I will divide both sides by -1.

x = -10

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

I will subtract both sides by 10. X=-10

Explanation:

X= -10 because if you subtract it to -x it will cancel out the negative.
