Question

Describe how to solve -5x = 30.

Answer 1

Divide both sides by the variable in front of the x. So in this case divide both sides by -5. -5x/5=30/-5 and then when you simplify that you get x=-6. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

x = -6

Explanation:

-5x = 30

Divide each side by -5

-5x/-5 = 30/-5

x = -6
