Question

Solve for x.

5x - 6 = -46
Does any one know the answer?

Answer 1

x= -8

Explanation:

5x - 6 = -46 original equation

5x = -40 added 6 to both sides

`(5x)/(5) = (-40)/(5)` divide both sides by 5

x = -8 solution

Answer 2

X= -8

Explanation:

Subtract 6 on both sides

that leaves you with

5/5=-40/5 The 5s cancel out leaving you with -40/5 and -40 divided by 5 is -8
