What number should both sides of the equation x/-5=−6 be multiplied by to solve for the value of x ?

1 answer

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.
