To solve the equation \( 5x - 6 = -403 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 6 to both sides of the equation: \[ 5x - 6 + 6 = -403 + 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x = -397 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 5: \[ x = \frac{-397}{5} \]

  3. Simplify the fraction if necessary: \[ x = -79.4 \]

So the final answer is: \[ x = -79.4 \]
