which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation -6x= 48 to solve x

1 answer

To solve for x in the equation -6x = 48, you should divide both sides of the equation by -6.

Dividing both sides of the equation by -6:
(-6x) / -6 = 48 / -6
The -6's on the left side cancel out, leaving:
x = -8

Therefore, x = -8 is the solution to the equation -6x = 48.
