Solve for x.

Question

3 - 6/5x = -3

A. x = 0
B. x = -5
C. x = 6
D. x = 5

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by adding 6/5x to both sides of the equation to get rid of it. This gives us:

3 + 6/5x - 6/5x = -3 + 6/5x

3 = -3 + 6/5x

Next, we can combine like terms on the right side by adding -3 to both sides:

3 + 3 = -3 + 3 + 6/5x

6 = 6/5x

Now, we can isolate x by multiplying both sides by 5/6:

(5/6)(6) = (5/6)(6/5x)

5 = x

So, the solution is x = 5.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. x = 5.
