Answer 1

x = -8

Explanation:

`6x - 3 = -51?\\To - find-x- collect-like-terms.\\6x=-51+3\\6x =-48\\Divide-both-sides-of-the-equation-by-6\\(6x)/(6) = (-48)/(6) \\x = -8`

Answer 2

x = -8

Explanation:

6x - 3 = -51

Add 3 to each side

6x - 3+3 = -51+3

6x = -48

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = -48/6

x = -8
