Question

What is 9-x/5=3?
I kept getting 6 but the only option is -6 :/

Answer 1

Explanation:

`9 - (x)/(5) = 3 \\ 9 - 5 * (x)/(5) = 3 * 5 \\ 9 - x = 15 \\ - 9 - x = - 9 + 15 \\ - x = 6 \\ - x / - 1 = 6 / - 1 \\ x = - 6`

Answer 2

Yeah the answer is -6

Explanation:

9-x/ 5= 3

9-x = 15 (5 times three)

-x = 6 (9-6)

x= -6 ( a variable can never Be negative, but we have to give the minus to 6)

I hope this helps!
