The solution of the equation 85x = −10 is −16.
To solve the equation −6x = 48 and find the value of x, we need to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation to maintain its balance.
In this case, the equation involves multiplication with −6. Therefore, to isolate the variable x, we need to divide both sides by −6. Dividing by −6 is the correct operation, as it ensures that the equation remains balanced.
Hence, the correct response is:
- Divide by −6
- Divide by negative 6
