3- 6/5x = -3

1 answer

To solve for x in this equation, you must isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

First, we need to simplify the equation by distributing the 6/5 to the x term:

3 - 6/5x = -3
3 - (6/5)x = -3

Next, we need to get rid of the constant term on the left side of the equation by subtracting 3 from both sides:

- (6/5)x = -6

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 6/5, which is 5/6:

x = (-6) * (5/6)
x = -30/6
x = -5

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