Translate the following sentence into math symbols. Then solve the problem. Show your work and keep the equation balanced.
10 less than x is -45
To find the value of x in the equation -x = -45, we need to isolate x by getting it alone on one side of the equation.
Starting with -x = -45, we can apply the property of equality which states that if we perform the same operation on both sides of the equation, the equality is preserved.
To eliminate the negative sign in front of x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1. This gives us:
(-1)(-x) = (-1)(-45)
x = 45
So, the value of x in the equation -x = -45 is 45.
