What number should both sides of the equation x/−5= −6
be multiplied by to solve for the value of x
?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{-5} = -6 \), you can multiply both sides by \(-5\) to eliminate the fraction.

Here's how it works:

\[
\frac{x}{-5} = -6
\]

Multiply both sides by \(-5\):

\[
x = -6 \times -5
\]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[
x = 30
\]

So, the number you should multiply both sides by is \(-5\).
