Question

Solve for x: (5 points)
(-6/5)X-4 = -46

Select one:
a. 23
b. 35
c. −23
d. −35

Answer 1

hm

(-6/5)X-4 = -46

since we have 4 subtracted from both sides, can you try adding 4 to both sides ?

Answer 2

(-6/5)X = -46+4=-42

Answer 3

(-6/5)X= -42

Answer 4

@caira12 still there? any ideas where to go from there?

Answer 5

im a bit lost

Answer 6

no problem, let's try and break it down a bit ^^

(-6/5)X-4 = -46

since we have 4 subtracted from both sides, we simply add 4 to both sides to get

(-6/5)X-4 + 4 = -46 + 4

make sense so far?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

after we simplify that we get

(-6/5)x = -42 (since -4 + 4 = 0 and -46 + 4 = -42)

Answer 9

now, since we have x multiplied by (-6/5) we can divide both sides by (-6/5) to get

(-6/5)x / (-6/5) = -42/(-6/5) =

what does -42 divided by (-6/5) equal?

Answer 10
