To solve for the value of x in the equation x/-5 = -6, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the number -5. By multiplying both sides of the equation by -5, we get:
(-5)(x/-5) = (-5)(-6)
Simplifying, we have:
x = 30
Therefore, both sides of the equation should be multiplied by -5 to solve for the value of x.
What number should both sides of the equation x/-5=−6 be multiplied by to solve for the value of x ?
