This is a problem of one unknown variable

The equation given is:


-(6)/(5)x=-36

First, we should notice that both sides of the equation are negative, so we can multiply by -1 on each side in order to have positive terms


(6)/(5)x=36

then we need to isolate the x


\begin{gathered} 6x=5\cdot36 \\ 6x=180 \\ x=(180)/(6) \\ x=30 \end{gathered}

x=30
