Solve 5- 6x = -7

Question

x = _

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 5 - 6x = -7 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: \[ 5 - 6x - 5 = -7 - 5 \] Simplifying gives: \[ -6x = -12 \]

2. Divide both sides by -6: \[ x = \frac{-12}{-6} \] Simplifying gives: \[ x = 2 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 2 \).
