6-2\times 5=5x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6x, the least common multiple of x,3x,6.
6-10=5x
Multiply -2 and 5 to get -10.
-4=5x
Subtract 10 from 6 to get -4.
5x=-4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{-4}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=-\frac{4}{5}
Fraction \frac{-4}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
