To solve the equation −6x=48 and find the value of x, you should divide both sides of the equation by -6.
To solve the value of x in the equation -6x = 48, you should divide both sides of the equation by -6.
To solve for the value of x in the equation −6x = 48, you need to perform the same operation to both sides of the equation. This ensures that the equation remains balanced and that the solution is valid.
In this case, the correct operation to perform is to divide both sides of the equation by −6. Dividing by −6 cancels out the coefficient of x on the left side, leaving x alone.
So the correct response would be "divide by −6" or "divide by negative 6".
