You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"5x%2F6=-10\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=6%28-10%29\"$ Multiply both sides by 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=-60\"$ Multiply.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28-60%29%2F%285%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"5\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-12\"$ Reduce.\r
