What number should both sides of the equation x/−5 = −6

Question

be multiplied by to solve for the value of x
?(1 point) what's the answer

Answer 1

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

Here is the step:

1. Start with the original equation:
   \[ \frac{x}{-5} = -6 \]

2. Multiply both sides by \(-5\):
   \[ -5 \cdot \frac{x}{-5} = -6 \cdot -5 \]

3. Simplifying both sides gives:
   \[ x = 30 \]

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