solve 5 - 6x=-7

x = ___

1 answer

To solve the equation 5 - 6x = -7, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's get rid of the constant term on the left side of the equation by subtracting 5 from both sides:

5 - 6x - 5 = -7 - 5
-6x = -12

Next, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -6:

-6x / -6 = -12 / -6
x = 2

Therefore, x = 2 is the solution to the equation 5 - 6x = -7.
