Question

-5/3x=5 find x in the following​

Answer 1

Answer:

ㅤ• x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• $\sf \frac{ - 5}{3} x = 5$

To Find :

• the value of x

Solution :

__________________________________________

$\\ \sf : \implies \frac{ - 5}{3} x = 5$

$\\ \sf : \implies \frac{ - 5x}{3} = 5$

$\\ \sf : \implies - 5x = 5 \times 3$

$\\ \sf : \implies - 5x = 15$

$\\ \sf : \implies \: x = \cancel\frac{15}{ - 5}$

$\\ \sf : \implies \: x = \frac{3}{ - 1}$

$\\ \sf : \implies \boxed{ \frak{ \pink{x = - 3}}}$

__________________________________________

Therefore, the value of x = -3.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/3x=5

Multiply both sides by 3x.

-5 = 15x

Swap sides so all variable terms are on the left hand side.

15x - 5

Divide both sides by 15

x = -5 / 15

Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms.

x = - 1/3
