Question

What is 9-x/5=3? I kept getting 6 but the only option is -6 :/

Answer 1

Answer:

Yeah the answer is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

9-x/ 5= 3

9-x = 15 (5 times three)

-x = 6 (9-6)

x= -6 ( a variable can never Be negative, but we have to give the minus to 6)

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$9 - \frac{x}{5} = 3 \\ 9 - 5 \times \frac{x}{5} = 3 \times 5 \\ 9 - x = 15 \\ - 9 - x = - 9 + 15 \\ - x = 6 \\ - x \div - 1 = 6 \div - 1 \\ x = - 6$
