Question

What is the value of x?

x+5= -6x-16

Answer 1

Explain

Answer 2

First we subtract 5 to both sides.

\(x + 5 = -6x - 16\)

\(x = -6x - 16 - 5\)

Answer 3

so -6x - 16?

Answer 4

Subtract -16 - 5.

Answer 5

then when i get that i subtract that answer by 5?

Answer 6

oh ok

Answer 7

-16-5=-21

Answer 8

next i divide right?

Answer 9

6x=-21

Answer 10

then i divide -21 by 6 and i get -3.5?

Answer 11

so my answer is -3.5?

Answer 12

Yes, -21 is correct..that gives us:

x = -6x - 21

Now we add 6x to both sides, what do you get?

Answer 13

-15

Answer 14

correct or no?

Answer 15

No, we're adding 6x + x

Answer 16

huh?

Answer 17

you lost me there?

Answer 18

\(6x + x \rightarrow 6x + 1x \rightarrow 6 + 1\)

Then we add the 'x' on the end..

Answer 19

so we add 6+1 and we get 7

Answer 20

Yep, so 6x + x is 7x.

So we have:

\(7x = -21\)

Now divide 7 to both sides.

Answer 21

-3?

Answer 22

Yep, you got it. x = -3
