Question

What is the value of x in the equation Negative 6 x = 5 x + 22?

Answer 1

x=-2

Explanation:

The equation here is -6x=5x+22

First we can move the term 5x to the left side by subtracting 5x from both sides of the equation giving us

-11x=22

From here we need to divide both sides of the equation by -11 to isolate the variable so we get

-11x/-11=22/-11

This then is simplified to

x=-2

Which is the answer.

Answer 2

Hi there!

Your answer is:

x= -2

Explanation:

-6x = 5x +22

Subtract 5x from both sides

-6x-5x = 22

Simplify

-11x = 22

Divide both sides by -11

x= 22/-11

Simplify

x= -2

Hope this helps!
