Solve 5−6x=−7 .(1 point)

Question

x=____

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with the equation 5 - 6x = -7, we can start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

5 - 5 - 6x = -7 - 5

This simplifies to:

-6x = -12

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by -6:

(-6x) / -6 = (-12) / -6

This simplifies to:

x = 2

Therefore, the solution is x = 2.
