The goal is to get the x to be on one side of the equation on its own.
-6x = -18
To get rid of the -6, we would have to do the opposite of what it's doing in the equation - in this case, we would divide, as it's the opposite of multiplying.
What we do to one side of the equation, we have to do to the other.
We have 15.71 total. Chicken nuggets each cost $1.49. We are ordering 5 orders of chicken nuggets, so we use multiplication. 1.49*5= $7.45. Since we spent 7.45 from 15.71, to find the rest, we subtract. 15.71-7.45 = 8.26
