Question

What is the value of x?
6x = -5

Answer 1

Explanation

Our task is to find the value of x in the following equation:

`6x=-5`

To find x, we need to isolate it first; to isolate it, we're going to divide both sides of this equation by 6:

`x=-\cfrac{5}{6}`

Therefore, the value of x for this equation is x = -5/6.

Answer 2

6x = -5

You divide by 6 on both sides

X = -5/6

If changed to a decimal it would be:

X = -0.8333(repeated)
