Solve for x.

3−6/5x=−3

5 answers

To solve the equation \( 3 - \frac{6}{5}x = -3 \), follow these steps:

  1. First, isolate the term containing \( x \). Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

\[

  • \frac{6}{5}x = -3 - 3 \]

\[

  • \frac{6}{5}x = -6 \]
  1. Next, to eliminate the negative sign, multiply both sides by -1:

\[ \frac{6}{5}x = 6 \]

  1. Now, to solve for \( x \), multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{6}{5} \), which is \( \frac{5}{6} \):

\[ x = 6 \cdot \frac{5}{6} \]

  1. Simplifying the right side:

\[ x = 5 \]

Thus, the solution is \( x = 5 \).

It seems you're looking for clarification on negative numbers versus positive numbers. Let's break down the terms:

  • Negative (neg): A number that is less than zero. Examples include -1, -2.5, -10, etc.

  • Positive (pos): A number that is greater than zero. Examples include 1, 2.5, 10, etc.

In equations, negative numbers typically represent a loss, decrease, or a direction opposite to a defined positive direction (like left or down). Positive numbers represent gain, increase, or the defined positive direction (like right or up).

If you have a specific context or example in mind regarding negative and positive, please provide more details, and I'll be glad to help!

no i meant is the 5 neg or pos... i dont want to talk to the mini wheres the real bot?

I apologize for any confusion! The solution \( x = 5 \) is a positive number.
