3-6/5x = -3 X=__

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{3 - 6}{5x} = -3 \), we first simplify the left side:

1. Simplify \( 3 - 6 \): \[ 3 - 6 = -3 \]

2. Substitute this back into the equation: \[ \frac{-3}{5x} = -3 \]

3. To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by \( 5x \) (assuming \( x \neq 0 \)): \[ -3 = -3 \cdot 5x \]

4. Simplify the right side: \[ -3 = -15x \]

5. Now, divide both sides by -15: \[ x = \frac{-3}{-15} \]

6. Simplify the fraction: \[ x = \frac{1}{5} \]

So the value of \( x \) is \( \frac{1}{5} \).
