What number should both sides of the equation x/-5=−6 be multiplied by to solve for the value of x ?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{-5} = -6 \), you need to eliminate the fraction. You can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by \(-5\).

So, you would multiply both sides by \(-5\):

\[ -5 \cdot \frac{x}{-5} = -5 \cdot -6 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = 30 \]

Thus, the number you should multiply both sides by to solve for \( x \) is \(-5\).
