Question

What is the first step needed to solve 2 over 5 multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 16 ? (1 point) Subtract 16 from both sides Add 6 to both sides Divide both sides by 5 Multiply both sides by 2

Answer 1

Answer:

The first step is Add 6 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\frac{2}{5}x-6=-16$

Solve for x

That means ----> isolate the variable x

step 1

Adds 6 both sides

$\frac{2}{5}x-6+6=-16+6$

$\frac{2}{5}x=-10$

step 2

Multiply by 5/2 both sides

$\frac{2}{5}x(\frac{5}{2})=-10(\frac{5}{2})$

$x=-25$

therefore

The first step is Add 6 to both sides

Answer 2

I believe the answer for the first step would be add 6 to both sides
