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

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

1 answer

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

So, the equation becomes:

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

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 30 \]

Thus, you should multiply both sides by \(-5\) to solve for \(x\).
