Answer:
x = 1.9
Step-by-step explanation:
5.4 - 6x = -6
Gotta isolate the x, so you would minus 5.4 from both sides:
5.4 - 5.4 - 6x = (-6) - 5.4
5.4 - 5.4 cancels out, and (-6) - 5.4 is -11.4 What's left is:
- 6x = -11.4
Gotta isolate the x, so divide -6 to both sides. It negative because the sign in front of it is a subtraction sign, it would be positive if there is a addition sign:
- 6x/(-6) = (-11.4)/(-6)
-6 divide by -6 cancels out, and -11.4 divided by -6 is 1.9. A negative divided by a negative is a positive. Result, x is now isolated:
x = 1.9
