​  

(x+5)  to  \frac{x+5}{6}  

6

x+5

​  

.

-\frac{x+5}{6}=-8

−  

6

x+5

​  

=−8

2 Multiply both sides by 66.

-x-5=-8\times 6

−x−5=−8×6

3 Simplify  8\times 68×6  to  4848.

-x-5=-48

−x−5=−48

4 Add 55 to both sides.

-x=-48+5

−x=−48+5

5 Simplify  -48+5−48+5  to  -43−43.

-x=-43

−x=−43

6 Multiply both sides by -1−1.

x=43
