To solve for the value of x in the equation x/-5 = -6, you should divide both sides of the equation by -1/5. Dividing both sides by the same number keeps the equation balanced.
Dividing by -1/5 simplifies the equation to x = (-6) / (-1/5). This can be further simplified by multiplying -6 with the reciprocal of -1/5, which is -5/1. Therefore, x = (-6) * (-5/1) = 30.
what number should both sides of the equation x/-5 = -6 be divided by to solve for the value of x
