Question

How do you solve `\frac { x } { - 5} = 19`?

Answer 1

`x=-95`

Explanation:

`x/-5=19`

to get `x` you'll have to multiply `x/-5` with `-5` but to make the equation correct you should do it with both the left and the right side.

`-5(x/-5)=19*-5`

`x=19*-5`

`x=-95`

Answer 2

`x=-95`

Explanation:

`"multiply both sides by "-5`

`cancel(-5)xx x/cancel(-5)=-5xx19`

`x=-95" is the solution"`

Answer 3

`x=-95`

Explanation:

Multiplying both sides of the equation by `-5` we get
`x=-95`

Answer 4

`x=-95`

Explanation:

To isolate `x`, we have to undo any operation being applied to it. Right now it's being divided by `-5`, so let's do the inverse-multiply both sides by `-5`. We get

`x=(-5)*19`

`x=-95`

Hope this helps!
