Question

If x/5 + 6 = -14, then x =

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = -100}`

Explanation:

Given Equation:

x/5 + 6 = -14

Subtract 6 to both sides

x/5 = -14 - 6

x/5 = -20

Multiply 5 to both sides

x = -20 × 5

x = -100

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Answer 2

The answer is (-100).

Explanation:

Given;

• x/5 + 6 = -14

To Find;

• The value of x

Now,

x/5 + 6 = -14

Cross multiplication

x + 5 × 6 ÷ 5 = -14

x + 30/5 = -14

Multiply 5 both sides we get,

x + 30/5 × 5 = -14 × 5

x + 30 = -70

x + 30 – 30 = -70 – 30

x = -100

Thus, The value of x is (-100).
