Question

Use your number sense to find the values for x and y that satisfy the equations.-6x = -30

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanations:

Given the equation shown:

`-6x=-30`

To get the value of "x", we will divide both sides by -6 to have:

`\begin{gathered} \frac{\cancel{-6}x}{\cancel{-6}}=\frac{\cancel{-30}^5}{\cancel{-6}} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}`

Hence the value of x that satisfies the equation is 5
