Question

What valúe of x solves the equation?
5+x-6x=-5​

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{x=2}`

Explanation:

`5+x-6x=-5`

Combining like terms.

`5-5x=-5`

Subtracting 5 from both sides.

`-5x=-10`

Dividing both sides by -5.

`x=2`

Answer 2

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 2}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{5 + x - 6x = - 5}`

Collect like terms

⇒
`\sf{5 - 5x = - 5}`

Move 5 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒
`\sf{ - 5x = - 5 - 5}`

Calculate

⇒
`\sf{ - 5x = - 10}`

Divide both sides of the equation by -5

⇒
`\sf{ ( - 5x)/( - 5) = ( - 10)/( - 5) }`

Calculate

⇒
`\sf{x = 2}`

Hope I helped!
