A.) 5x-1=-6
B.) 5x=-5 -5/5=-1 so x=-1
The answer is x=-1 because in order to solve the equation, you have to remove the -1, which means you add 1 to each side, because the -6 was negative, when you add 1 it goes to -5, at this point it should look like 5x=-5. Now you divide by 5 on both sides since the coefficient of x is 5, leaving you with the answer, x=-1
