Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
6 -x = 5x + 30
6 - 30 = 5x + x
-24 = 6x
divide both sides by 6 to get x = -4
Answer:
[tex]=-4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6-x=5x+30\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}6\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\6-x-6=5x+30-6\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\-x=5x+24\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}5x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\-x-5x=5x+24-5x\\Simplify\\-6x=24\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-6\\\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{24}{-6}\\Simplify\\\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{24}{-6}\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-6x}{-6}:\quad x\\\frac{-6x}{-6}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{6x}{6}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{6}=1\\=x[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{24}{-6}:\quad -4\\\frac{24}{-6}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\=-\frac{24}{6}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{24}{6}=4\\=-4\\[/tex]
