Question

Describe how to solve -5x = 30

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

solving for x in this equation, you would only need to divide the -5 on both sides.

-5x=30

divide both the x and 30 by -5:

x=-6

(make sure when dividing a negative by a positive the positive number ends up negative as well) :)

Answer 2

-5x divided by -5x to cancel the out the x and then 30 divided by -5, hope this helped!
