To solve the value of x in the equation -6x=48, you should divide both sides of the equation by -6 or divide by negative 6.
To solve the equation −6x = 48 and find the value of x, you need to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation. In this case, you should divide both sides of the equation by -6 or negative 6.
To solve the equation −6x = 48 and find the value of x, you need to perform an operation on both sides of the equation that will isolate the variable x. In this case, you can divide both sides of the equation by −6 (or negative 6) since it is the coefficient of x.
So, the correct response is:
- Divide by −6
or
- Divide by negative 6
