Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 3 - 65x = -3 \):

1. Start by isolating the term with \( x \): \[ 3 - 65x = -3 \] Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ -65x = -3 - 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ -65x = -6 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by -65: \[ x = \frac{-6}{-65} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = \frac{6}{65} \]

None of the provided answer options \( x = -5, x = 5, x = 6, x = 0 \) match the solution \( x = \frac{6}{65} \). Please double-check the equation or the provided options.
