Solve. x/6 -1=5?

x/6 - 1 = 5
x/6 = 6
x = 36

x / 6 = 5 + 1
x / 6 = 6
x = 36

x/6 - 1 = 5

first you want to isolate x on one side. In this case you want to isolate x on the left side of the equation since it will be easier.

x/6 = 5 + 1 (add 1to both sides in order to cancel out the minus 1)

x = 6 x 6 (multiply six to both sides to cancel the six in the denominator

x = 36

36

36

x/6 - 1 = 5

multiply each side by 6, which produces

x - 6 = 30

x = 36

36

x/6 - 1 = 5
x/6 = 5 + 1
x/6 = 6
x = 6(6)
x = 36

x/6 - a million = 5 x/6 = 6 (upload a million to the two aspects to get the x term through itself) x = 36 (multiply the two aspects through 6 to get x through itself, eliminating the denominator) So, your answer is x=36!

x/6 - 1 = 5
x/6 = 6
x = 36

booya!
