First you take -3 and add itself to get 6x = -48. Then you simply divide 6 into -48 and you get x = -8

When solving for a variable, you undo all operations done to that variable.

In the equation 6x - 3 = -51 we see on the left-hand side that the variable x is being multiplied by 6 and subtracted 3 times.

We can reverse the subtraction operation by using the inverse of subtraction.
Which is the addition operation. If we add 3 to the left-hand side, the -3 term will disappear.

But wait! Anything we do on one side we must do also on the opposite side.


6x - 3 + 3 = -51 + 3
6x             = -48

Now how can we undo the multiplication operation done to x?
We can use division. It will make the 6 coefficient disappear!

6x / 6 = -48/6
x = -8

So, x is equal to -8.

4 sisters share 3 muffins equally how much does each get
Allushta [10]
I think that the 4 sisters get 3 pieces each of the muffins because if you cut it in four pieces it gives one piece to each one of the four sisters and you keep doing it with the other two left muffins.

kotykmax [81]

Answer: 129

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is the average of the data. including x, there are 6 data points

average = total/6

average = (98 + 123 + 105 +114 +109 + x) / 6

113 = (98 + 123 + 105 +114 +109 + x) / 6

113 = (549+ x) / 6

678 = 549 + x

x = 129
