Question

3x/5= -6 please help me I need to know this problem for my homework

Answer 1

This is simple:

`(3x)/(5)` = -6

Multiply both by 5 so the fraction cancels out

5 ×
`(3x)/(5)` = -6 × 5
5 and 5 cancels out

3x = -30

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate x

`(3x)/(3)` =
`- (30)/(3)`
3 and 3 cancels out

x = -10

Answer 2

Multiply -6 by the denominater of 5. Which gives you 3x = -30. Divide both sides by 3 and it leaves you with x = -10. I hope this helps
