You shouldn't multiply — add 5 to both sides to undo the −5:
x − 5 = −6
x − 5 + 5 = −6 + 5
x = −1
(If you prefer multiplication, multiplying both sides by −1 also leads to x = −1.)
x − 5 = −6
x − 5 + 5 = −6 + 5
x = −1
(If you prefer multiplication, multiplying both sides by −1 also leads to x = −1.)
