Answer:
x=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. -6x-17=19
2. -6x=19+17
3. -6x= 36
4. x= 36/-6
5. x= -6
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you wanted, you could plug each value into the equation, but the more efficient method would be to isolate x:
-6x - 17 = 19 add 17 to each side
-6x = 36 divide each side by -6
x = -6
