Question

60=-5(x-6)
Please answer this with how you got the answer.

Answer 1

x = -6

Explanation:

» Solution

Step 1: Distribute -5 to the terms inside the parantheses.

• 
  `(-5)(x)+(-5)(-6)=60`
• 
  `-5x+30=60`

Step 2: Subtract 30 from both sides.

• 
  `-5x+30-30=60-30`
• 
  `-5x=30`

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.

• 
  `-5x/-5=30/-5`
• 
  `x=-6`

Therefore, x = -6.
