Question

Solve the following equation for x.


`(x-5)/(2)` = -6



x = -2

x = 2

x = -7

x = -17

Answer 1

Option C is answer.

Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

`(x - 5)/(2) = - 6`

Multiply "-6" and "2".

`x - 5 = - 6 * 2`

`x - 5 = - 12`

Shift "-5" on right side.

`x = - 12 + 5`

Therefore, X = -7.

Hope it helps...
