6/(x+5)=-5 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{6}{x + 5} = -5$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 6
b1 = 5 + x
a2 = 1
b2 = -1/5
so we get the equation
$$\frac{\left(-1\right) 6}{5} = x + 5$$
$$- \frac{6}{5} = x + 5$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + \frac{31}{5}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = \frac{31}{5}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 31/5 / (-1)
We get the answer: x = -31/5
$$x_{1} = - \frac{31}{5}$$
