Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 3 - 65x = -3 \), we will follow these steps:

1. Isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 3 - 65x = -3 \] Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ -65x = -3 - 3 \] \[ -65x = -6 \]

2. Solve for \( x \): Divide both sides by -65: \[ x = \frac{-6}{-65} \] Simplifying gives: \[ x = \frac{6}{65} \]

None of the provided options (5, -5, 0, or 6) are correct as the solution to the equation \( 3 - 65x = -3 \) is \( x = \frac{6}{65} \).

Looks like there may be an error in the responses or the question itself. Please double-check the equation.
