Solve 5−6x=−7

1 answer

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

First, let's start by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:
5 - 5 - 6x = -7 - 5
-6x = -12

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -6 to isolate x:
-6x / -6 = -12 / -6
x = 2

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