To solve a problem like this, our goal is to isolate the variable, which in this case, is x. We use something called reverse operations to do this. If a number is being added on the same side of x, we use subtraction on both sides to cancel it out. If x is dividing a number, we use multiplication on both sides to cancel it out.
6=x/5
In this case, x is being divided by 5. The reverse operation of division is multiplication, so we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to cancel it out and isolate x.
