be multiplied by to solve for the value of x
?(1 point)

Answer 1

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

Here's how it looks:

\[ \frac{x}{-5} \cdot (-5) = -6 \cdot (-5) \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 30 \]

Thus, to solve for \( x \), both sides of the equation should be multiplied by \(-5\).
