Answer:

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).
