Hey there!

ANSWER:
x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this equation.


-6x-10=-40

Add 10 to both sides.


-6x-10+10=-40+10=-6x=-30\\-6x=-30

Divide both sides by by -6.


(-6x)/(-6) =(-30)/(-6)

Simplify the fraction by dividing -30 by -6.


-30/-6=5\\ x=5

x=5 is your answer.

Hope this helps!
