Well this is a hard question to answer, but this is how i would put it.
You would take a number (lets use 15) and the second number (lets use 5) would determine how many times it would go into 15. In other words, 5 time x would equal 15 (5x=15). 5, being a factor of 15, would evenly fit into 15 three times.
Answer:
<em>x=-11</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>17+x/6=0</em>
<em>17+x=6</em>
