Answer 6

I know the answers 6 but I just don't get how to get that

Answer 7

Not 6.

"One-sixth of a number is 5 more than the same number" is written mathematically as:

1/6 x = x + 5

Start by multiplying all terms by 6:

6/6 x = 6x + 30, which is the same as:

x = 6x + 30

Isolate the x terms:

x - 6x = 30 yields:

-5x = 30

Divide both sides by -5:

x = -6
