To solve for the value of x in the equation x/−5=−6, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by the same number.

Since we want to eliminate the denominator on the left side of the equation (-5), we should multiply both sides by -5.

(-5)(x/−5) = (-5)(-6)

The -5 on the left side cancels out, leaving us with:

x = 30

So, to solve for the value of x, we should multiply both sides of the equation x/−5=−6 by -5.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's try again.

To solve for the value of x in the equation x/−5=−6, we need to cancel out the denominator on the left side by multiplying both sides of the equation by its reciprocal, which is -5/1 or simply -5.

(x/−5) * (-5) = (-6) * (-5)

Simplifying this:

x = 30

So, to solve for the value of x, we should multiply both sides of the equation x/−5=−6 by -5.

To solve for the value of x in the equation x/–5 = –6, we need to eliminate the fraction on the left side of the equation. To do this, we multiply both sides of the equation by –5.

(–5) * (x/–5) = (–5) * (–6)

This simplifies to:

x = 30

Therefore, both sides of the equation x/–5 = –6 should be multiplied by –5 to solve for the value of x.
