Question

What is the value of x?

-5x = 60

Answer 1

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ -5x = 60

Isolate the variable "x" by dividing by -5 on each side.

⇒ -5x/-5 = 60/-5

⇒ x = -12

The solution is x = -12

Answer 2

`\boxed{ \sf \bold{x = -12}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\dashrightarrow \ \ \sf -5x = 60`

divide both sides by -5

`\dashrightarrow \ \ \sf (-5x)/(-5) = (60)/(-5)`

simplify

`\dashrightarrow \ \ \sf x = -12`
