Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
⇒ -5x = 60
Isolate the variable "x" by dividing by -5 on each side.
⇒ -5x/-5 = 60/-5
⇒ x = -12
The solution is x = -12
[tex]\boxed{ \sf \bold{x = -12}}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]\dashrightarrow \ \ \sf -5x = 60[/tex]
divide both sides by -5
[tex]\dashrightarrow \ \ \sf \dfrac{-5x}{-5} = \dfrac{60}{-5}[/tex]
simplify
[tex]\dashrightarrow \ \ \sf x = -12[/tex]
