To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{5} - 3 = -6 \), follow these steps:
-
Add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ \frac{x}{5} - 3 + 3 = -6 + 3 \] \[ \frac{x}{5} = -3 \]
-
Multiply both sides by 5 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = -3 \times 5 \] \[ x = -15 \]
So, the solution for \( x \) is \( -15 \).
